Bergen op Zoom Netherlands Part 1
Part 1
Are you traveling to the Netherlands for your next holiday? Make sure you visit the beautiful city of Bergen op Zoom in North Brabant.
The city was built on a place where two types of soil meet: sandy soil and marine clay. The sandy soil pushed against the marine clay, accumulating and forming hills over several centuries. People called those hills the Brabantse Wal, literally meaning wall of Brabant. Zoom refers to the border of this wall and bergen in Dutch means mountains or hills. The name has nothing to do with the little channel the ‘Zoom’ which was later built through Bergen op Zoom.
Architectural Gem Moses Bridge
The Moses Bridge ('Mozezbrug') is at Fort de Roovere near Halsteren, the Netherlands. The designers, RO&AD Architecten, decided that it would be inappropriate to build a bridge over the historic moat. Instead they constructed a practically invisible, mostly submerged bridge. The bridge is called The Moses Bridge due to it seeming to divide the waters of the moat.

Transcript:
Today we're in West Brabant, it's about two hours outside of Amsterdam and we've come to visit an unusual architectural marvel called the Moses bridge. That's one thing to know, this Moses Bridge is in the middle of nowhere it also means there's hardly any tourists which is great.
The Moses Bridge was built in 2010. It's not well known so people don't know that it's here. We will tell them now of course. It will be the next tourist discovery. We had to Google search this one. It's a little bit of a hidden gem. Very much so. Is it a hidden gem?
It's a bridge that they've built which is kind of submerged so it looks like you have parted the waters which is really amazing. Hence the name Moses Bridge. So right now, I'm below the water level and as you go up you can see the water is at this level. So it's kind of just above waist height.
-How did you find this place actually?
-I think it's very mesmerising to be honest.
-No, not how do you find it, how did you find it?
Don't you love though, that on a clear day it's like a mirror image.
That was cool right? -Unbelievable!
We'll be coming back again right? No we won't be coming back again. It's really amazing. It's so nice. Unfortunately it's not easy to get to so I don't think we'll be coming back again. But if you get the chance to come out here, then it's well worth doing. Right? Ja, and maybe we'll discover something else next.

Fort de Roovere - Nederland
3D HD video of Moses Bridge of Fort de Roovere. Fort De Roovere is an entrenchment near Halsteren, The Netherlands, that was part of the West Brabant Dutch Water Line. It is an earthen fort that goes through a wall (the Ligneweg) and is connected to Fort de Prinssen.
In the recent years, the fort has been renovated and a bridge was built to access the fort across its moat. The designers of the bridge felt it would be inappropriate to build a bridge over the moat so instead decided to construct a partially submerged bridge deeming it practically invisible. A bridge that has taken on the name The Moses Bridge as it appears to have divided the moat's waters. This design allows people to cross virtually undetected from water level except for a few bobbing heads. Its construction is made entirely of wood and waterproofed with foil.
