*************

Christianshavns Kanal (English: Christianshavn Canal) is a canal in the Christianshavn neighbourhodd of Copenhagen, Denmark. Running northeast-southwest, it bisects the neighbourhood along its length. To the north it connects to Trangraven, the canal which separates Christianshavn from Holmen; to the south it makes an angular break and empties in the main harbour a little north of the Langebro bridge. At the middle, Christianshavns Kanal is crossed by Børnehusbroen. This bridge is part of Torvegade, the main thoroughfare of Christianshavn, connecting the city centre across Knippelsbro to the northwest to Amager the southeast. The only other bridge traversing the canal is Snorrebroen, located further north.^[1]

Christianshavns Kanal is noted for its bustling sailing community with numerous house- and sailboats, particularly in the northern half of the canal.

Overgaden oven Vandet and Overgaden neden Vandet are two streets running along each their side of Christianshavns Kanal. The suffix Over- in the street names derrives from the German word Ufer, meaning shore or bank. ""oven vandet"" and ""neden vandet"" refers to the two halves which Christianshavn is cut into by the canal, ""neden vandet"" being the inner (City Side) side of the neighbourhood and ""oven vandet"" being the outer (Amager Side) side . The streets date back to the original foundation of Christianshavn by Christian IV.^[2]
