This is the longest bicycle bridge in Europe (800m) connecting Winschoten with Blauwestad. The bridge was built over a highway, a canal and part of the Oldambtmeer.
The views from the bridge are wonderful.

The Pieter Smit Bridge is Europe's longest bicycle bridge, and it's certainly something! It takes you through the blue city, over small villages, and around Lake Oldambtermeer! Cycling is fun in bright sunshine 🌞 🤩

August 18, 2024,🚲😊 Urlaub in Bunde 🚲 9. Tour 🚲 die Blaue Stadt 🚲🤗

🚲😊 we liked the Blue City so much that we went to see the area a second time by bike

🚲 the longest bicycle bridge is fascinating......but unfortunately it's not easy to get up from the side entrance...especially not with a tricycle. The bike has to be pushed up. Such a great bridge, with a big drawback 😏
