Where are the most bridges in Europe. Which city has the most bridges

Many will think that this is, of course, Venice and will be wrong. Someone will say that in Amsterdam - and again by. London? Not! There are more bridges in this city than in all these listed cities combined. Two and a half thousand large and small bridges across two rivers, on the banks of which this city is located.

The city where "The Beatles" began their career, the city after which the most popular dish in the world is named. I think you have already guessed that this is Hamburg - the second largest city in Germany.

CITY OF OTHER CITIES

In Hamburg there is something from Venice ...

And from London...

And from Peter. Although, most likely, in St. Petersburg there is something from Hamburg. By the way, this boat on the column near the Town Hall is often confused with the boat on the Admiralty spire. Yes, what really - Hamburg and St. Petersburg are generally sister cities.

Residential areas in the city center:

The Hamburg subway is different in that most of the sections run on the surface and on overpasses, covering mainly the northern part of the city.

The main square of the city, where the Town Hall is located

Hamburg is a city of symmetry and strict lines,...

Homeless..

And water.

WE CAME TO THE PORT TODAY

Hamburg is a major transport hub (railways and highways), as well as a sea and river (Elbe River) port. The seaport is the largest port in Germany, being the second largest in Europe after Rotterdam.

The port of Hamburg occupies a tenth of the city's territory - 75 square kilometers. The total length of the quay wall is 46 kilometers - this is about 300 berths for sea and ocean vessels.

The port is a sea port, although it is located on the banks of the Elbe River, not far from its confluence with the North Sea.

The port of Hamburg is perhaps the most important sight of the city, which you can devote the whole day to. What kind of ships you will not see here!

Cap San Diego- German bulk carrier built in 1962. Currently a museum ship. The dry cargo ship was nicknamed "the white swan of the Atlantic".
"San Diego" went to those "distant shores" about which the song about Brazil is sung.

The main attraction of the port of Hamburg is the museum sailboat "Rickmer Rickmers"(Rickmer Rickmers). She is one of the last large commercial shipping sailboats.

The sailboat was used to carry loads of rice and bamboo from the Far East, with coal from Wales to Chile, and from Chile to Germany with saltpeter.

sailboat Grossherzogin Elisa, built in 1909. Until now, it is operated as a training ship, goes to sea.

Bulk carrier (dry cargo carrier) PANTHER MAX in the dock. Built in 2012, it has a length of 229 m and a beam of 32 m. It takes on board 44326 tons.

ocean cruise giant "Norwegian Escape"- the third liner of the NCL company, the Breakaway Plus project. It is NCL's largest cruise ship and is one deck larger than her brothers, the predecessors Breakaway and Getaway. It has just been built and will soon be put into operation.

More than 300 meters long, 40 meters wide, 20 decks, 2206 cabins that can accommodate up to 5000 passengers.

Premium cabins with a personal butler, two balconies, a Jacuzzi and designer interiors, an entire water park on the upper deck with slides and waterfalls, a huge selection of restaurants and bars with a varied menu of several cuisines of the world - a real floating city.

One could still tell about the origin of the expression "Hamburg cock", but it will already be a completely different story.

Top 10. The longest bridges in Russia

Bridges, no matter how trite it sounds, are different - from a simple board thrown over an obstacle to giant structures that amaze with their beauty and grandeur. The longest bridges in Russia - we offer our readers our rating of the most impressive architectural structures.

10. Metro bridge of the Trans-Siberian Railway across the Ob River in Novosibirsk (2,145 meters)

The weight of the structure is impressive - 6200 tons. The bridge is famous for its unique design. Its construction was carried out in stages using huge hydraulic jacks. This method has no analogues in the world.

An interesting feature of the bridge of the Trans-Siberian Railway across the Ob is that in summer it is stretched (by about 50 cm), and in winter it is reduced. This is due to large temperature fluctuations.

The metro bridge began operation in 1986. 10th place in our ranking of the longest bridges in Russia.

This is interesting: boasts several more records. Here is the longest automobile bridge in Siberia - Bugrinsky. Its length is 2096 meters.

In the summer of 1965, Valentin Privalov, serving in Kansk, on a jet fighter flew under the bridge a meter from the water in front of hundreds of townspeople relaxing on the banks of the Ob River. The pilot was threatened with a military tribunal, but he was saved by personal intervention in the case of Defense Minister Malinovsky.

During the construction of the bridge, modern technologies were used, which made it possible to preserve the ecosystem of the river and not harm rare fish species. The service life of the bridge is estimated at 100 years.

Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and one of the most beautiful in the country. It is a popular tourist destination due to its scenic beauty and unique mixture of historical monuments, modern pubs and nightclubs, including the world-famous red-light district, the Reeperbahn. Despite being located on the Elbe River, about 100 kilometers from the North Sea, Hamburg is the largest port city. It has the country's largest port - the second busiest in Europe and the third largest in the world after London and New York. For those who love water, ships and harbours, the city is a must-see. In this article, we will look at the most popular bridges in Hamburg and talk about each of them in more detail.

Hamburg is actually surrounded on all sides by water. The river Alster is divided into two lakes that lie on either side of the city, Binnen and Aussenalster (Inner and Outer) and the River Elbe flows straight through into the North Sea. All this water signifies an abundance of canals, streams and bridges. In fact, Hamburg has more bridges within its city limits than any other city in the world and more canals than Amsterdam and Venice combined. The total number of bridges - approximately 2,300 to 2,500 - is more than London, Amsterdam and Venice combined. In this selection, you will find the largest and most famous bridges in Hamburg.

Kölbrandbrücke bridge.

Köhlbrandbrücke was opened in 1974 and is one of the most prominent landmarks in Hamburg. 3940 meters long, with a central span of 325 meters, from 1974 to 1991 it was the longest bridge span in the world. Now, it is the second longest bridge in Germany.

We have already done a similar review of the bridges of St. Petersburg, so if you are interested in architecture, be sure to visit this selection.

Elbruken.

Elbrücken is subdivided into several independent bridges that cross the Elbe River in Hamburg. The two bridges merge into each other again, encircling the largest river island on the Elbe.

The old Elbbrücke bridge.

In 1899, a steel arch bridge 474 meters long was opened, built at that time for cars. It was the first road bridge over the Suderelbe, now only for pedestrians and cyclists. Between 1980 and 1995 it was radically renovated.

Lombards and Kennedy bridges.

Adjacent to Lombard Bridge is Kennedy Bridge. A second bridge was built in 1953 because the old Lombard Bridge could not handle the heavy traffic. The bridge was originally named New Lombardsbrücke. Was renamed Kennedy Bridge in 1963 in honor of John F. Kennedy after his assassination. Both of the above bridges divide the Alster lake into inner and outer.

Sollenbrücke.
