Hiking
The current Hoge Brug, built in 1662, once formed a crucial part of the connecting road from Delft to Schiedam via Overschie. This bridge is characterized by four solid masonry arches and a steel drawbridge. The drawbridge itself dates from the year 1925 and replaced an earlier double drawbridge that had been in use there until then.

Overschie had city rights before Rotterdam and this bridge was an important link for this trading hub.
