The brand-new bicycle and pedes- trian bridge crossing the A201 highway in Brussels is bound to become the city’s newest tourist attrac- tion. Measuring 710 metres in length, the straight steel bridge, designed by Dutch architects ZJA, rests on V-shaped grey steel columns with cut-away cor- ners. From afar, it appears to float above the highway and point toward the horizon. The shallow, comfortable steps that access the bridge from the tram stop also appear transparent. At its highest point the deck is looming almost eight metres over the highway where cars and trams pass. The bridge should be completed in 2024. zja.nl/en/Fietsbrug-over-de-A201-Brussel
There’s a new reason to visit the Czech Republic—timber rafting! While navigating rivers by raft in Europe gradually disappeared as dams were built, the traditions surrounding this ancient means of transport, such as boating songs, are being pre- served by a new generation. Timber rafting has also earned Czechs a place on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage. The Czech Republic (a.k.a. Czechia) now boasts eight cultural designa- tions. They include handmade beaded Christmas decorations, puppetry, falconry, carnival routes and masks. visitczechrepublic.com
