Moerputtenbrug Walking route

<p>Of course this route goes over the Moerputtenbrug. Furthermore, the walk goes through a true jungle on a beautiful winding path. On the way you pass a large bee meadow. The start and end point is an easily accessible parking lot. </p> <p>De Moerputten is a nature reserve in the Dutch province of North Brabant, located near's-Hertogenbosch. The 118-hectare site is part of the Natura 2000 areas and is managed by Staatsbosbeheer. It is one of the few remaining low moors south of the great rivers. </p> <p>In 1890, the Langstraat railway's-Hertogenbosch-Lage Zwaluwe was taken into use. The track ran through the wet low moor area of the Moerputten, which is why two bridges were built: the Moerputtenbrug and the Venkantbrug.</p> <p>The 600 meter long railway bridge is a beautiful example of industrial heritage from the 19th century. The enormous, stately colossus consists of a riveted iron construction that rests on 35 masonry piers.</p> <p>In 2011, the years-long renovation of the bridge was completed and the bridge is now accessible to walkers again. At the foot of the Moerputtenbrug is a floating pontoon from where you can see the famous side view of the bridge. Information about the history of both bridges can be found at the bridgeheads. </p>
