Imagine that you have been assigned a task: to build most inconspicuous bridge in the world. What to do here? Whether to use glass, or weightless threads - or is it easier to immediately invent a force field? Dutch engineers got out of the difficulty with honor: they hid their bridge under water!
Back in the 17th century, many fortresses, ditches and canals were built for military purposes in West Brabant (a historical area in the Netherlands) - probably to complicate the maneuver of the frisky French or Spanish cavalry. The results of fortification architecture still look very colorful and attract thousands of tourists. In particular, tourists are happy to visit Fort De Roovere - a fortress with a moat full of water enclosed in stone walls.
But, unfortunately, visitors do not know how to fly like birds - and therefore an imperceptible but functional bridge had to be built across the moat. Having puzzled over the task, modern architects have built bridge under water: as if on the bottom of a bowl, tourists walk along wet boards directly to the castle.
The architectural focus was called "The Bridge of Moses": after all, it is possible to cross the sea, like dry land. However, there is no point in building such a bridge on the sea or river: all floating rubbish will immediately accumulate on one side of it. But in a shallow and extremely calm ditch, he turned out to be just the perfect solution. The successful find of architects has already spread across blogs around the world and, along with the transforming bridge, has added to the list of the most amazing bridges in Holland.

One of the companies producing strollers for children decided to make a version of a stroller for adults so that they themselves can ride it and check if everything is suitable for the baby, whether he will be comfortable
