This is a unique covered bridge, it is believed that it is the oldest of all in Europe. It was built as part of the city fortifications. Now it connects the old city with new quarters. Once the bridge was very badly damaged by fire, but later it was completely restored. When walking along this bridge, do not forget to look up - along the bridge, under the very roof, you can see triangular paintings depicting the most important moments in the history of Switzerland. In general, the bridge is very beautiful, be sure to look at it. We walked along it twice - during the day to look at the paintings and at night, when the lights on it turned on and the bridge simply changed. I highly recommend that you do the same.
