This beautiful bridge, located in Welle, East Flanders, is unique in the Belgian railway landscape. With a length of 250 meters, it is an impressive piece of craftsmanship.
The entire bridge is made of tropical hardwood (tropical azobe hardwood), which combines durability and natural beauty.
The bridge is a gateway to the nearby De Wellemeersen nature reserve, which covers a vast area of 65 hectares.
Originally there was a steel and concrete bridge, but thanks to smart design, this wooden bridge fits perfectly into the environment.
The bridge connects to the Welle and Kappelmeersenpad, a provincial walking route of 11 km through the beautiful flood area of the Dender.
The African wood requires no additional treatment and should theoretically last a hundred years.
Infrabel invested approximately 950,000 euros in this bridge, 20% of which was financed by the European Union.
