Van Brienenoord Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

If you are walking in Rotterdam, then you must also have taken the van Brienenoord Bridge at least once. With its long ascent, it's a great place to complete a good hill workout.

Kreekse Haven

Highlight • River

Maybe not the prettiest place to run, but a special one! If you're not doing the marathon or the bridge run, you should definitely check these off in a workout.

Highlight • Viewpoint

A colonnade or colonnade is a row of columns supporting an enclosure. As an architectural element, the colonnade goes back to the architecture of ancient Greece. Specific forms of the colonnade are the portico, where the colonnade is placed as a hall in front of the entrance of a building, and the peristyle, where the gallery runs around an open courtyard.

De Boeg (The Bow) War Memorial

Highlight • Monument

De Boeg is a war memorial in Rotterdam. It commemorates the 3,500 crew members of Dutch merchant ships who lost their lives in World War II. Fred Carasso's monument was unveiled by Princess Margriet on the corner of Boompjes and Leuvehaven on April 10, 1957. The 46 meter high aluminum construction symbolizes a bow in the concrete waves. Later, on July 15, 1965, an 8 meter high bronze sculpture group was added to the monument: a helmsman, three sailors and one drowned. On the side is the text: "They kept course".

Willems Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In 1927 the bridge was jacked up several meters and stripped of its ornaments. The bicycle and pedestrian path were also moved to the outside of the bridge, because the sharp increase in road traffic caused increasingly dangerous situations. Until the opening of the Maastunnel during the Second World War, the Willemsbrug was the westernmost fixed bank connection across the Maas, so that increasingly important international traffic also used this connection straight through the old center of Rotterdam.

The Willemsbrug played an important role during the Second World War. Marines from the nearby Marine Barracks on Oostplein defended this bridge and the adjacent railway bridge and quay 'Boompjes' since the German invasion on May 10, 1940. The resistance of the Dutch marines was much stronger than the Germans had expected. The Marines managed to hold back the advance of the German troops until the Germans decided to bomb the center of Rotterdam on May 14, 1940.
