- The Oudegracht, or "old canal", runs through the center of Utrecht, the Netherlands. It starts in the southeast of the city. Here the Kromme Rijn (the original main bed of the Rhine river) and the Vaartse Rijn (a medieval canal reconnecting Utrecht to the newer main stream of the Rhine, the Lek) arrive to meet the original moat of the fortified town, and the Oudegracht goes from there into the center of town. Parts of the Oudegracht follow the original flow of the river Rhine, but there is some disagreement on what parts. The northern part is most likely an early canal (app. 1000) connecting the Rhine section to the river Vecht. The southern part was started in 1122, after the water level of the Rhine in Utrecht dropped because of the new dam at Wijk bij Duurstede. The ground excavated was used to raise the sides of the canal, to reduce the chance of flooding. When the city's system of locks was finished in 1275 the water level was constant, enabling the creation of permanently dry cellars and new quays at water level, hence the typical wharfs (Dutch: werven) below street level. Warehouses used to line the canal. Today many of these warehouses have been converted into restaurants and cafés. (en)
- L'Oudegracht (Canale Vecchio) è il canale più famoso della città olandese di Utrecht. Il canale di circa due chilometri può essere visto come il collegamento tra il Kromme Rijn e il Vecht, e attraversa tutto il centro storico da sud a nord. Da secoli è il cuore della città. Il sistema di banchine e cantine a volta dell'Oudegracht e del più piccolo (Canale Nuovo) è unico nel mondo. Nel 2008 è stato proposto come Patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO ma tale nomina non è ancora stata data. (it)
- De Oudegracht is de bekendste gracht in de Nederlandse stad Utrecht. De ongeveer twee kilometer lange gracht is te beschouwen als het verbindingsstuk tussen de Kromme Rijn en de Vecht en doorsnijdt de gehele binnenstad van zuid naar noord. Eeuwenlang is zij de hoofdader van de stad geweest. Het systeem van werven en werfkelders van de Utrechtse Oude- en Nieuwegracht is op deze schaal uniek in de wereld. In 2008 was er sprake van een voordracht van het grachten-, bruggen- en wervenstelsel voor de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO, maar zo'n nominatie heeft nog niet plaatsgevonden. (nl)
