Häderli Bridge, Stone bridge remnants in Schöllenen Gorge, Switzerland

The Häderli Bridge spans 48.4 meters across the Reuss River, featuring a width of 3.2 meters and a primary support span of 24 meters.

Constructed in 1649 to replace an older pathway, the bridge was destroyed by flooding in 1987 and underwent complete reconstruction until 1991.

The bridge exemplifies traditional Swiss engineering methods, with stones hand-carved from local quarries to maintain historical authenticity during reconstruction.

Located between Göschenen and Andermatt, the bridge serves as a crossing point along hiking trails through the Schöllenen Gorge.

The reconstruction project cost 1.2 million Swiss francs and required extensive documentation to replicate the original bridge structure precisely.
