The rugged Schöllenen Gorge, through which the Reuss flows deep below, has always been a difficult obstacle to overcome on the Gotthard Pass route. It was probably the Walsers who tried to open up the mule track to the south by building daring bridges around 1200. The attempt to build a bridge over the Reuss failed several times over the centuries - until, according to legend, a pact was made with the devil.

A wild tangle of bridges: the old Devil's Bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, the bridge for cars and a bridge for the train. Interesting to look at.
