    At 204 meters, the Bad Säckingen wooden bridge is the longest covered wooden bridge in Europe. Since the Middle Ages, it has been repeatedly destroyed by floods, ice, and wars, and rebuilt several times. It served as an escape route to Switzerland during times of crisis, such as 1848 and 1945. In 2014, secret Swiss military explosives depots were removed from its pillars.
