Den Uendelige Bro
Johan Gjøde (2015)
Et af Kongelundens mest smukke og unikke bygningskunstværker er Den Uendelige Bro, som i sommerhalvåret ligger i den sydligste snip af projektområdet.
Den cirkelformede træbro er tegnet af aarhusianske Johan Gjøde og var oprindeligt en del af Sculpture by the Sea i 2015. De modtog i 2017 Akademiraadets Franciska Clausen Medalje, som er en af de største hæderssymboler til en kunstner for et enkeltstående værk med begrundelsen, at det var et "poetiske, tanke- og sansevækkende værk. For et værk, hvor skønheden ikke kun ligger i formen, men også i oplevelsen".
Det var da også kærlighed ved første blik fra byen og dens gæster. Den kærlighed er ikke rustet med årene. Broen er et utroligt populært udflugtsmål og mange vælger at forevige livets forskellige stjernestunder på broen.

One of Kongelunden's most beautiful and unique architectural artworks is Den Uendelige Bro (The Infinite Bridge), which during the summer months is located at the southernmost point of the project area.
The circular wooden bridge was designed by Aarhusian Johan Gjøde and was originally part of Sculpture by the Sea in 2015. In 2017, they received the Academy Council's Franciska Clausen Medal, one of the highest honors given to an artist for a single work, with the justification that it was a "poetic, thought- and sense-provoking work. A work where beauty lies not only in the form but also in the experience."
It was indeed love at first sight for the city and its visitors. That love has not tarnished with the years. The bridge remains an incredibly popular destination, with many choosing to immortalize the different starry moments of their lives on the bridge.
