Checkout the religious statue at the halfway point & read the plaque on the history of the bridge.

Physician, natural scientist, and philosopher, 1493–1541; author of important medical, theological, and sociopolitical writings. From 1527–1528, city physician and professor in Basel.
Paracelsus introduced the treatment of diseases with chemical means during the Renaissance. The progress of practical medicine at the beginning of the 16th century is largely thanks to him.
