    The Moses Bridge is a unique and intriguing architectural landmark that you will certainly discover when you visit the Brabantse Wal. Here's what you need to know if you want to explore the Moses Bridge:



    The Location: The Mozes Bridge is located in the Roovere fort in Halsteren, near Bergen op Zoom in the province of North Brabant, the Netherlands. This historic fort and the striking nature form the backdrop for this striking bridge.



    The Design: What makes the Moses Bridge so unique is its intriguing design. It also appears the bridge is floating above the water. The bridge is circular and resembles a semicircle partially submerged under water. You can walk across the bridge without getting wet anywhere, it is embedded below the water surface and supported by walls of glass and concrete.



    The Name and Story: The bridge is based on the Biblical story of Moses, who, according to tradition, parted the Red Sea. The design of the bridge appears to have been made based on this junction. It is an impressive combination of modern design and historical references.



    The Experience: As a visitor you can walk over the Moses Bridge and enjoy the serene surroundings of the fort and the water. It's a great place to take photos, enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and experience the visual illusion of the 'floating' bridge.



    History: Fort de Roovere itself is a historic site dating back to the 17th century and appears as a defensive structure. The Moses Bridge adds a contemporary artistic and architectural dimension to this historical heritage.



    So if you want to explore the Moses Bridge, make sure you put on your walking shoes and visit this striking location. It is a unique place where history and modernity come together, and it offers an impressive experience for visitors looking for something special in the Brabantse Wal.

      Unfortunately not always with dry feet, in autumn when the water is high the bridge can be obstructed. Surely a nice bridge to cross (or walk through) water?

        Walk through the water with dry feet! Part of the West Brabant Waterline, recently restored. Walk through the unique trench bridge through the water without getting your feet wet.
