It was the Swiss engineer Jürg Conzett who opened up the Vesten in 2002 with this ingenious design that spans the Coupure. Two steel tubes rest on four solid walls and the bridge deck hangs from these tubes via cables. When the tubes rotate around their axis, the bridge deck rises. Ingenious in its simplicity and perfectly integrated into the environment.

Hiking

The best time to walk here is in the month of December when all boats are equipped with Christmas lights. But at any other time of the year also nice to walk the rest of the vests.
