Dug by hand between 1825 and 1831, this 15 kilometer channel near Skaudviliai was meant to connect the Venta and Dubysa rivers as part of a 19th century plan to link Russia's inland waterways to the Baltic Sea while bypassing Prussian-controlled ports. The canal was never finished, but its earthworks, remnant locks and a former winter harbor near Kurtuvėnai can still be seen today.
