Why go
The bridge is both a useful crossing and a piece of working river infrastructure. Its narrow profile, timber structure and movable central span stand out against the broader Amstel, while the approaches frame views toward Carré and the riverfront within the working city.
What to look for
- The Dutch name means ‘Skinny Bridge,’ recalling the narrow bridge once found here.
- The present white-painted timber design dates from 1934.
- The central bascule span opens for river traffic.
Useful to know
- Cross on foot and view the bridge again from the riverbank to understand its full span.
- Combine it with an Amstel walk toward Royal Theatre Carré or the Stopera.
