    Wooden bridge Rapperswil-Hurden
    The Rapperswil–Hurden wooden bridge refers to the prehistoric lake crossings in the area of the Seedamm as well as historical bridge structures, such as the wooden bridge built between 1358 and 1360 on behalf of Rudolf IV (Rudolf the Spirited) of Habsburg-Austria and new buildings that could be used until 1878. These created a pedestrian and wagon connection between Rapperswil and Hurden in the area of the upper Lake Zurich.
