Hiking
The Kandelaarbrug is an elegant steel drawbridge over the Delftse Schie, especially for cyclists and walkers. With its long approach and slight bend, it offers a smooth connection between Rotterdam and Delft, while you can enjoy the view over the water and the surrounding polders along the way.

Cycling
The Kandelaarbrug is a drawbridge for pedestrians and cyclists, over the Delftse Schie, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The drawbridge is hydraulically driven by a cylinder under the bridge deck. The bridge has, on the west side, the longest ramp in the entire area and there is a 'kink' in this ramp. Approximately 5000 cyclists use the bridge per week and it opens about 120 times during that time. Crosswinds at the Kandelaarbrug make it difficult for skippers to pass this bridge.
