Wissenbach Bridge from 1872
The 23-meter-long Schwänberg Bridge is a covered truss bridge over the Wissbach stream.
For pedestrians, it connects the Egg district of Flawil with the Schwänberg district of Herisau. The first bridge was built in 1615 and replaced by the current one in 1782. Numerous inscriptions by its builders make it a "Speaking Bridge".

Another covered wooden bridge with the (new) name Schwänbergbrücke, between Egg and Schwänberg, built in 1782. It is 22 meters long and towers 24 meters over the narrow gorge, a descent into the gorge (on a side path) is worthwhile.
