Nearby sections of the river are still crowded with German shipwrecks sunk during the Second World War in late 1944 to block passage to the Soviet military, restricting the navigable channel.[2]
Drought in 2022 dropped river levels and exposed dozens of the sunken warships, still laden with ammunition and explosives, presenting a safety hazard.[3]
