Pantenbrücke, Stone bridge in Linthal, Switzerland
The Pantenbrücke consists of two stone bridges stacked on top of each other, crossing the deep Linth gorge south of Tierfehd.
The first recorded stone arch bridge was built in 1457, with subsequent reconstructions in 1560 and 1750 following damages from avalanches and rockfalls.
The name Panten originates from the Latin words pontus meaning bridge and pantum meaning cattle passage, indicating early Roman settlements in the Linth valley.
The bridge connects Linthal to Breil/Brigels in Graubünden canton via the Kisten Pass, serving as a passage to the Alps for hikers and locals.
The newer bridge was constructed directly above the older one between 1899 and 1902, preserving both structures and displaying different bridge building periods.
