- Fæstningskanalen (literally "The Fortification Canal") is a canal in central Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, Copenhagen, Denmark. Created in the 1880s as part of the new fortification ring around the Danish capital, it runs from Lyngby Lake in the west to in the east. From there it originally continued to Ermelunden in Jægersborg Dyrehave, but this last leg of the canal is no longer filled with water. The project also included a more upstream straightening of the section of Mølleåen that connects Furesø in the west to the west side of Lyngby Lake in the east. The canal complemented the West Rampart (Vestvolden) and a series of coastal fortresses which were built at the same time. In the event of an enemy invasion, a dam at each end of the canal, one at Frederiksdal and one at Ermelunden, would be opened, and the natural drainage of Lyngby Lake would be blocked, leading to the flooding of an extensive area of land along Hvidørebækken all the way out to the Øresund coast. Water would also be led through Gentofte Lake to Utterslev Mose, leading to further floodings. Together with the moat in front of the West Rampart, this would create a complete water barrier around the Danish capital. (en)
- Het Vestingkanaal (Deens: Fæstningskanalen) werd in 1887-88 gegraven ter verdediging van de Deense hoofdstad. Het vlakke landschap ten westen van Kopenhagen maakte een heimelijk optrekken van de vijand onmogelijk. Hier werd een kanaal gegraven met daarachter een aarden wal voor de opstelling van geschut. Het waterniveau in het kanaal kon worden verhoogd om meer land onder water te zetten. (nl)
