The bridge is clear, and there's no more construction expected for the foreseeable future. I prefer driving up the switchbacks. I'm a mountain donkey, after all.

The church is located in the middle of the cemetery, barely visible from the streets, and can be visited. The church tower provides access to the nave itself. The carving of the pulpit is particularly beautiful. The compact church building with central columns has an unusual layout, including an organ and pews.
