The plaque on the bridge states that as early as 1200 the people of Urschnen - who knows, perhaps with the help of the devil - achieved a masterpiece. By building the Devil's Bridge they conquered the wild Schöllenen Gorge, which had previously been considered impassable. This made the Gotthard route the shortest north-south connection. In 1595 the wooden bridge was replaced by a stone bridge. It fell victim to a storm in 1888. In 1830, another bridge was built with the construction of the drivable road, which was replaced by the current Devil's Bridge in 1956.
