Old Hergiswald Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The old Hergiswald Bridge dates back to 1791 and is a listed building. Since a new bridge for car traffic was built in parallel in 2012, the old bridge has been restored and the original trusses have been reinstalled.

This area is simply beautiful in terms of views. Lake Lucerne, Pilatus, Rigi, Mittelland, Lake Sempach, the Alps - you can see everything on the way up. From Eigenthal onwards it really gets super beautiful. Along the wonderful stream, flowering meadows and a really tough climb. As a reward, after a long descent, there is a delicious meal on the …

With the plan and my ❤️, we're off to Sonnenberg. And because the weather is so pleasant, we're continuing on to Rosshütte. And autumn 🍁🍄‍🟫🍄 is showing off so beautifully with thousands of autumn crocuses. So we're driving over the Chräigütsch to Unterlauelen and taking a relaxing break. ☕️ Yes, and while we're there, we could also go over the …

For refreshments, we went to Unterlauelen, where I enjoyed a fantastic cake. Refueled, we mastered the climb to Trockenmattsattel, which required a bit more energy at …
