Schöllenen Gorge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schöllenen Gorge is a canyon around 5km long on the Reuss River in central Switzerland north of Andermatt. Enclosed by sheer granite walls its road and railway require several spectacular bridges and tunnels, of which the most famous is a stone bridge known as Devil’s Bridge (Teufelsbrücke). The original bridge on this site was associated with various legends relating to the difficulty of its construction and linking it with a nearby large boulder known as the Devil’s Stone. (See Devil’s Bridge for the widespread legends of such diabolical bridges.)
