Bydgoszcz Timber Port

The Bydgoszcz Timber Port is a water basin on the Brda river in Bydgoszcz, Poland, used for storing timber during its rafting westward via the Vistula-Oder Waterway and for processing in local timber industry facilities. Constructed in 1879 and expanded in 1906, the port's significance declined after 1920 due to reduced timber transport to Germany. Subsequently, the basin at Brdyujście was repurposed as the Bydgoszcz Regatta Course, while the term "Timber Port" remains in historical contexts.
