The Antwerp Antitank Canal, also called the Antitank Canal, is an artificial watercourse that forms a large quarter circle (from north to east) around the city of Antwerp. The moat has a length of approximately 33 km and is at least 6 meters wide. It connects the Scheldt at Berendrecht with the Albert Canal in Oelegem. The moat was built between 1937 and 1939 with the intention of stopping enemy German tanks and other rolling stock before they could reach Antwerp.

Hiking

Here it is very quiet to walk and especially with binoculars in your hand.
