Bega
Until the 18th century, the Timișoara area was characterised by marshes. Construction of the Bega Canal began in 1728 to drain the marshes and promote urban development. In 1732, the first ship traveled to Pančevo, Serbia. The navigable distance was 116 km. Today, the Bega plays an important role in public transport and recreational boating. The bike lanes and paths along the banks are ideal for walking, jogging, and cycling.
