Recorded from the Wettsteinbrücke.
Unfortunately, the pedestrian path on the Grossbasel side between the Mittlere and Wettstein bridges is still pending.

In addition to the great view of the Rhine, the cathedral and both banks of the Rhine, the bridge itself is a beautiful piece of urban architecture.
