%X The idea of building the Oder-Danube waterway dates back to the fourteenth century. It was one of the first in Europe envisaging a water canal of such dimensions and spanning areas of highly diverse topography. Since then, new construction ideas with an altered course of the canal and hydrotechnical solutions have been proposed. The first actual design was developed in 1719. Despite the many perceived benefits, numerous difficulties were encountered over the years and the project was ultimately abandoned. The article presents the current construction status of the Oder-Danube Canal project, analyzing and assessing the political landscape in the Czech Republic as having a critical impact on the possibility of implementing the said undertaking.
