Tips from the Community

September 17, 2025, Rupperswil Covered Bridge

This is the historic Martiloo Bridge over the Steiner Canal (a flowing waterway). The original covered wooden bridge dates back to 1875 and was replaced in 1988 by a new structure in the same style to counteract its dilapidation. It is 16 meters long, 3.86 meters wide, and 3.2 meters high, with an asphalt surface.

A separate bridge over the Aare for pedestrians and cyclists. It's nice and wide. A beautiful view from the bridge. There's even a viewing platform.
