🇨🇭 Chapel Bridge 📍 Lucerne

#summervacay Located in the heart of Lucerne’s charming Old Town, the Chapel Bridge is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. This 14th-century wooden footbridge spans the Reuss River and is among the oldest covered wooden bridges in Europe. Over the centuries, it has undergone several reconstructions, most notably after a devastating fire in 1993 that destroyed much of its structure. Thanks to meticulous restoration efforts, the bridge has been beautifully rebuilt, preserving its historic character. Strolling across the Chapel Bridge offers not only a walk through history but also stunning views of the river and the colorful buildings lining the Old Town on both banks—a truly memorable experience.
