Hiking

De Hef is the popular name for the Koningshaven Bridge, a railway lifting bridge over the Koningshaven in Rotterdam that has been out of use for train traffic since September 24, 1993. The bridge formed part of the Breda - Rotterdam railway line.

In the Mysteries section we discuss a strange or weird fact from the city every week. This time we wondered: why does the Hef sometimes go down?

A little bit away from the center, the railway lift is one of the real landmarks of Rotterdam.
