The Intschi-Reuss Bridge in Gurtnellen, Switzerland, is not for those who fear heights. This railway bridge serves to connect the few inhabitants on one side with the bus station on the other. A path runs beneath the massive concrete boxes that support the weight of the trains.
Despite the intimidating appearance, the bridge is accessible via a wooden board walk supported by metal gratings. A light switch at both entrances helps guide visitors through the canyon, where the wild Reuss River flows. To access the bridge, visitors can use the walkway behind the bus stop, with parking available in two lay-bys before or after the bus stop.
However, caution is advised due to the proximity of traffic. The view from the bridge is limited and cars can approach swiftly. Additionally, please refrain from stopping at the bus stop.
