    This covered oak bridge, built in 1667, crosses the Sarine gorges, Lake Montbovon did not yet exist, the Lessoc dam dating from 1976; the mule path made it possible to reach Montbovon and Albeuve on the left bank. It is a magnificent and solid construction in oak wood, with a span of 14 m, with its oblique tie rods making it possible to take into account the vertical forces acting on the 2 beams supporting the bridge. A technical feat from the Middle Ages! It is the best preserved wooden covered bridge in the canton of Fribourg. Its roofing is made of shingles (anseilles).

      Built in 1667, it is the oldest and one of the last bridges of its kind in the Friborg region.
