Description

Ask any Antwerpian where Burgemeester Eduard Waghemansbrug is situated, and they will probably have no clue what you’re talking about. However, if you say that you are looking for the Brug van den Azijn (the Vinegar Bridge), and you’ll literally see the light bulb go off in their head. The bridge over the Albert Canal owes its unofficial name to a former vinegar factory.

When cycling up the bridge, stop halfway and turn around. On the Bosto tower you can see two lines of the poem Liedje voor de Kanaalzone by former city poet Joke van Leeuwen. Bob Takes created the design. The poem adds a more human dimension to the industrial setting.
