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.

A leisurely tour.
Weather changeable.
Sun and rain alternated. 🙆‍♀️ But I managed to escape the heavy rain 🤣

August 21, 2021,☆🦎Pilatus Wurzeltrail via Mülimäs-Schönenboden-Brunni & Renggpass-Loppertrail

Great bike tour with a group of 7 bikers at the foot of the Pilatus.
Start from Allmend Lucerne via Obernau Mülimäs and continue on a root trail to Schönenboden-Brunni.
From Brunni on to Brändibiel-Scheitholz and towards Renggpass.
From the Renggpass, things really get down to business over the Renggpasstrail and via the Loppertrail to the Alpnachersee.
Daniela H. thank …
