Python Bridge

Python Bridge, officially known as High Bridge, is a bridge that spans the canal between Sporenburg and Borneo Island in Eastern Docklands, Amsterdam.

History

It was built in 2001 and won the International Footbridge Award in 2002. The bright red bridge spans 90 meters and was designed by Adriaan Geuze of the architectural firm West 8.

Uniqueness

The bridge only carries pedestrians.
The visually similar Lage Brug is nearby. It is similar but without the high elevation, which allows cyclists to ride over it.
This bridge was also made famous by the Storror parkour team. The team used the bridge to do a hanging challenge and used a rope to swing off of.
