Schwarzwaldbrücke

The Schwarzwaldbrücke spans the Rhine with steel structures that support cars, buses, bicycles, and pedestrians. The structure allows multiple forms of traffic to move safely alongside one another.

The bridge was built in the 19th century to handle growing traffic in Basel. It arose from the need to better connect the expanding industrial city.

The bridge connects different neighborhoods and serves as a vital route for cyclists in their daily lives. It shapes the area's character and shows how residents move through the city on bicycles.

The bridge is open to all forms of traffic throughout the day, with separate lanes for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. You can cross it anytime, especially if exploring the Badischer Bahnhof area.

The bridge provides direct access to Badischer Bahnhof, an important railway hub on the far side of the Rhine. This makes it a key structure linking Basel to the German side of the river.
