Description

The famous skinny bridge across the river Amstel and opposite of the Carré theatre, is an Old Dutch design wooden bridge known as a double-swipe (balanced) bridge. Tradition relates that the bridge was named after the sisters Mager, who were supposed to live on opposite sides of the river. They are said to have had the wooden bridge built to make it easier to visit one another. However it appears more likely, that the original bridge acquired the name from being so narrow (mager means skinny in Dutch), that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass one along another. I also have a photo of downtown Amsterdam taken from under the bridge where smaller boats can travel without opening the swinging bridge overhead.

Note the woman on a bike stopped in the middle of the bridge...another iconic Amsterdam view! From this bridge there is a good view looking from the Amstel River to downtown Amsterdam, a hotel on the left toward the Centraal Train Station.

Several other bridges of this type are found in Amsterdam (at the Staalstraat/Grimburgwal, Nieuve Herengracht, Rapenburg, Prinseneiland and Bickerseiland).
