    Hiking

    Steel bridge over the Ernetschwilerbach near Schmerikon. Due to the height you have a good all-round view.
    "Historical maps show a footbridge at this location for the first time when it was updated in 1921. Archive images from JMS AG indicate structural changes in 1951 and 1971 (elevation). It can therefore be assumed that the current construction is at least 50 years old, if not 70 years old -year."

    There are probably plans for a new building:
