Atmospheric. A lovely loop from a cruise ship out of the harbor. Not too long for those with walking difficulties.

The Baanhoekbrug is a type of truss bridge over the Beneden Merwede located at Rkm 971.30 in the municipalities of Sliedrecht and Dordrecht, in the Dutch province of South Holland. This railway bridge is located in the Dordrecht – Geldermalsen section on the MerwedeLingelijn, between the stations Sliedrecht Baanhoek and Dordrecht Stadspolders. The bridge, like the first station, is named after the hamlet of Baanhoek, which is located near Sliedrecht. The bridge was built between 1880 and 1885 and was badly damaged in the Second World War. The bridge was rebuilt in 1947 and renovated between 1978 and 1983 and equipped with a bascule bridge. A cycle path runs along the east side of the single-track bridge.
