Hiking

Gwagglibrugg aka Paul Fischer Bridge, replaced in 1981.
One of the oldest suspension bridges in Switzerland

Cycling

Old witness: Paul Fischer Gwagglibrugg. This suspension bridge is one of the oldest wire rope suspension bridges in Switzerland. It was commissioned in 1863 by the owner of the Wettingen spinning mill, Johan Wild. In 1981/1982 it was extensively restored and renewed. The old substance of the old bridge was integrated into the new one. The rocking can still be felt today, especially when several people walk across the bridge.

Cycling

There is no ban on driving on this bridge, but unfortunately it is not free of steps. The Webermühle Bridge further ahead can be reached via the hiking trail along the Limmat, but it also has to be climbed up steps. The old wooden bridge near the monastery or the so-called sprayer bridge are free of steps.
