The town is connected to the right bank by two covered wooden bridges, the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) and the Spreuer Bridge (Spreuerbrücke). Narrow streets wind through the area, flanked by half-timbered houses and 15th-century buildings. Visitors can explore the historic architecture and walk along the charming, well-preserved bridges, immersing themselves in the rich history and picturesque setting of this Swiss gem.
