The Middle Bridge (common name, but official name is Middle Rhine Bridge) is the oldest Rhine crossing in Basel. It is located at Rhine kilometer 166.53 and is considered the border between the High Rhine and the Upper Rhine. The first bridge at this location was built in the first half of the 13th century and stood - with modifications - until 1903, when it was replaced by the current bridge. Until the opening of the Wettstein Bridge in 1879, the Middle Bridge was the only Rhine crossing in Basel.

Busy city: Basel. Just linger on the bridge, enjoy the view and chat to nice people! The bridge is worth seeing
