The aim of the paper is to point out the issue of navigation canals as potentially attractive tourist destinations. There are a number of these structures in the Czech Republic, but many do not receive as much attention in terms of tourist promotion as they deserve, given their cultural, historical and technological value. Weisshuhn's race in Žimrovice has been operating continuously since 1891. It was chosen as an example as it represents not only a unique water management facility, but also a regional attraction with a tourist potential, the evaluation of which is the subject of this paper. The evaluation of the race itself is based on a detailed assessment of the construction technology and its comparison with similar structures in the Czech Republic, including consideration of other aspects relevant in terms of tourism.
