The Berg en Broeksebrug is a steel drawbridge in Rotterdam, district Hillegersberg-Schiebroek. The bridge is located right next to the Berg en Broekse Verlaat lock, which forms a connection between the river Rotte and the Bergse Voorplas. The existing bridge was in very bad condition and had to be replaced.

Hiking

The official name is Berg en Broeksche Verlaat. Verlaat is an old name for lock. The lock allows pleasure craft to go from the Rotte to the lake and vice versa. Cycling often passes by, and for many boats, it's a real squeeze. It's fun to watch a boat go over.
