History
Uniqueness
The bridge only carries pedestrians.[citation needed]
The visually similar Lage Brug (Low bridge) is nearby. It is similar but without the high elevation, which allows cyclists to ride over it.[citation needed]
This bridge was also made famous by the Storror parkour team. The team used the bridge to do a hanging challenge and used a rope to swing off of.[citation needed]
