As with my introductory post of Hornindal Bridge, this month's contribution to Broer som Binder (Bridges between) is again from Norway.
This is the Gamle Bybro, in Trondheim which has views of the old warehouses lining the River Nidelva. The current bridge was built in 1861 to replace an older one from 1681. Just beyond is a special bicycle lift to help cyclists negotiate Brubakken Hill.
It was closed to traffic the day we visited as you can see from this picture taken from the windows of the road-train.
This was the view from the bridge looking upstream.
A full list of participants to Broer som Binder can be found on Runes TX-blog.
Great picture from my wifes hometown, Trondheim. This bridge is a beautiful one.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful bridge and interesting words to go along with description. I am participating in the bridges too so please come and see mine although I am not on the list.
ReplyDeleteDen kjenner jeg vet du. En berømt sak for oss trøndere..., har den på lur i billedarkivet jeg også, men valgte en annen variant denne gangen. Men broen over Nodelven til Solsiden, DEN har blitt postet.
ReplyDeleteFine bilder på en dag med oppholdsvær :-)))
Fin uke til deg og dine.
I really appreciates this. I am not from Trondheim myself, but every Norwegian knows about this bridge and it is a symbol for the town.
ReplyDeleteVery well done!
That is an interesting bridge, I have only seen something similar in a film, from over seas, can't remember the name of it right now. Have always wonder why the roof over the train. Maybe to avoid stones falling down, or what? Great shot!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures from a town I never have been to.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you had the opportunity to visit more of Geirangers surroundings when being at Sunmøre and Trøndelag.If not you have to return.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bridges both in Horningdal and Trondheim

Hello
ReplyDeleteI'm new and want to say hey...and it's some amazing picture you have here.
Beautiful photos of/from Gamle Bybro in Trondheim, well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bridge, beautiful town....
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the river. It has that very European feel because most European cities are located on and around the river.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteI have never been there, but I hope...
I doubt my town in Canada had any bridges in 1861, and definitely NOT in 1681!
ReplyDeleteI know this brigde. Visit it last summer and I will go to Trondheim again. It is a very nice place.
ReplyDeleteThank You 4 this Bridge session!
ReplyDeleteStaselig bro ;-)
