A nice repurposing of the old transporter bridge.

The old transporter bridge, which collided with a freighter a few years ago, is now being converted into a snack bar here on the canal bank thanks to some supporters. I'm looking forward to it.

There's a narrow canal passage here, so the view from here is quite beautiful. Tip: Step onto the canal promenade at the top – it's even more impressive there.
