About Port of PRAGUE
Prague is a canal port located on the Vltava River in the Czech Republic. It functions as an inland waterway hub, primarily handling recreational and small commercial vessels. The port's facilities are centered around the Prague-Troja Canoeing Centre, an artificial whitewater course.
Background
The Prague Canoeing Centre is one of the most frequently used venues for international canoe slalom competition. Built in 1983 in Czechoslovakia, it diverts water around a 3.6 metres (12 ft) dam at Troja on the Vltava river in Prague. Its two unique features are its use of car and truck tires as flow diverters and its shallow slope, closer to 1% than the usual nearly 2% for such venues. Despite these characteristics, the Troja facility has hosted ten World Cup races and one World Championship in the 21 years 1992–2012, and the 2013 World Championships.Current Conditions
