Old Rhine Bridge, Vaduz from 1901
The Old Rhine Bridge is a covered wooden bridge that connects the communities of Vaduz and Sevelen.
In 1901 the 135 m long old Vaduz-Sevelen Rhine bridge was completed. Today it is the last remaining wooden bridge over the Rhine. There was already a wooden bridge over the Rhine here 30 years ago, but after this bridge was raised twice due to the Rhine correction, a new building became necessary.
After the dam burst in Schaan in 1927, the old Rhine bridge was raised again. The bridge is covered and was thoroughly renovated in 2009 and 2010. It is only open to non-motorized traffic and is particularly popular with cyclists.

Old Rhine bridge Vaduz–Sevelen
The Old Rhine Bridge Vaduz–Sevelen is a wooden bridge over the Rhine that connects the Liechtenstein capital Vaduz with the municipality of Sevelen in the canton of St. Gallen. The bridge is 135 meters long and is the last remaining wooden bridge that crosses the Alpine Rhine.
Until the 19th century, the Rhine in the border area between Liechtenstein and Switzerland was, with a few exceptions, unregulated and could therefore flow largely freely. The transport of people and goods was therefore carried out by Rhine ferries, which were operated at five points between Liechtenstein and Switzerland at the beginning of the 19th century.[1] The beginning of the Rhine correction in the middle of the 19th century laid the foundation for bridge construction: the first Rhine bridges between Liechtenstein and Switzerland were built in 1867/1868 between Bendern and Haag and between Schaan and Buchs SG.
