Review:
Built in 1333, the Kapellbrucke (or Chapel Bridge) spans diagonally across the Reuss. Although part of the original burned down in a fire, the restored wooden covered footbridge remains Europe’s oldest surviving truss bridge. Even after 700 years, spruce wood panels of the bridge still feature detailed paintings, now restored, depicting historical events such as the life and death of Lucerne’s patron saint, St. Leger, and other local legends promoting the Catholic Church. Colorful flowers cover the side adding to the charm while strolling across. Guests can enter the bridge from either side when visiting.
Kapellbruke, Reuss River, Old Town, 6002 Lucerne, CHE
