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

Since 1994, the Antitankgracht has been recognized as a protected landscape. Thanks to a length of 33 km, the canal is the longest protected landscape in Flanders. A landscape management plan was drawn up to protect the moat. This is carried out by the current owner, the Vlaamse Milieu Maatschappij

There is a 13 meter difference between the highest and the lowest point of the canal, so 15 locks had to be constructed. Bunkers were built at most of these locks and at other places along the canal. Today there are still 48 bunkers along the canal.
