Description
The Bad Säckingen Wooden Bridge is not only an architectural gem but also an impressive structure that showcases the picturesque “Trumpeter Town” on the Rhine in a remarkable way.
Walk nearly 204 metres across Europe’s longest covered wooden bridge and feel the history beneath your feet. Built in the 13th century, it links not only the two riverbanks but also the countries of Germany and neighbouring Switzerland. Visitors of all ages often enjoy the playful moment of standing in both countries at the same time.
Once heavily used by cars, the bridge is now reserved exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists. The wheel marks left by vehicles can still be seen in the planks, bearing witness to the bridge’s eventful centuries-old history.
