The Ossinger railway bridge spans the Thur at a height of around 40 m. On the north side, the terrain drops steeply towards the Thur, while south of the river the bridge leads over a lower area of terrain about 200 m wide. It is one of the most important iron bridges in Switzerland.
Not recommended for those who are afraid of heights!

Actually, the Ossinger bridge is intended only for pedestrians and train passengers. The trail leading to the bridge is very narrow on both sides. The crossing for cyclists is not officially prohibited.
