Old land bridge

The Old Land Bridge spans across the Hinterrhein river, featuring stone construction that demonstrates traditional engineering methods from the mountainous Grisons region.

Built in 1693, this crossing point established a permanent connection between communities in the Rheinwald valley, replacing previous temporary wooden structures.

The structure holds class A status in the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property, reflecting its role in the development of trade routes through the Alps.

Located at coordinates 46.528827, 9.201976, the bridge remains accessible throughout the year and connects to local hiking paths in the surrounding area.

The bridge incorporates locally sourced stones from the Hinterrhein valley, arranged in a pattern that has maintained structural stability for over three centuries.
