    Today, its function has shifted from military defense ditch to 'defender of nature and landscape', a unique landscape element, along which you can cycle and walk almost endlessly. Moreover, as a large nature connection area, the Antitankgracht also contributes to the migration of animals and plants.

    The Antwerp Antitankgracht is an artificial watercourse that forms a large quarter circle around the city of Antwerp.
    The moat has a length of about 33 km and is at least 6 meters wide. It connects the Scheldt near Berendrecht with the Albert Canal in Oelegem

    The Antwerp Antitankgracht, also known as the Antitank Canal, is an artificial waterway that forms a large quarter circle (from north to east) around the city of Antwerp. The canal was constructed between 1937 and 1939 with the aim of stopping enemy German tanks and other rolling stock before they could reach Antwerp.
