De Koningshavenbrug, beter bekend als De Hef, is een prachtig historisch bouwwerk in Rotterdam. De architectuur en het industriële karakter maken het een indrukwekkende bezienswaardigheid. Zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken en mooie foto’s te maken.

Magnificent architecture and historyof this bridge. It is truly a work of art. Sturdy bridge. I can't believe jeff Bezos wanted to dismantle this temporarily so that he sail his million dollar yet through it. You also when married place next to it. You could get wedding photos at the top.
