    The lightning bolt[1] is the (nick)name of a Z-shaped steel watchtower along the A16 and the HSL near Prinsenbeek. The tower was built for the municipality of Breda to a design by Martien Kuipers.

    The watchtower is located along the (fast) cycle path between Breda and Etten-Leur. The steel structure is 22 meters high and stands on an artificial hill of 6 meters high. The tower was built in April/May 2008 and has been open to the public since July 2009.
