Schwarzwasserbrücke

The Schwarzwasserbrücke stretches 170 meters across the confluence of the Schwarzwasser and Sense rivers, connecting the municipalities through a dual-purpose structure.

The original steel bridge, constructed in 1882, was supplemented by a concrete railway extension in 1979 to accommodate growing transportation requirements.

The bridge holds class B status in Swiss cultural property classifications, representing regional engineering achievements and structural design methods from the late 1800s.

Trains on the Bern-Schwarzenburg railway line operate with a maximum incline of 3.5 percent across the bridge, ensuring steady transport between communities.

The bridge structure incorporates both road and rail passages, demonstrating the integration of multiple transport methods within a single crossing point.
