The Moerputtenbrug is a historic structure that is part of the former Langstraatspoorlijn in the Netherlands. The bridge, located in the Moerputten nature reserve, was on the route between 's-Hertogenbosch and Lage Zwaluwe.

The original Moerputtenbrug was built in 1881 and served as an important connection for both passenger trains and freight transport. At the time, it was a technical feat due to the length of the bridge and the complex construction. The bridge consisted of several pillars that supported the track above the marshes and the water.

During the Second World War, in 1944, the bridge was blown up by the Dutch resistance to stop the advancing German troops. After the war, however, the bridge was rebuilt and put back into use.

Although the Langstraatspoorlijn was closed to train traffic in the 1970s, the Moerputtenbrug has been preserved as an important industrial heritage.

This is a nice stretch for a short walk. Keep an eye on! Come early because by noon it is usually busy and you can no longer park your car.
