Covered Bridge Photos from Switzerland and Austria

Courtesy of Gregor Andread Wenda

 

Dear colleagues,

Today I can finally share two new CB photos with you.

One comes from Bremgarten, Switzerland, the other one is from the town of Rabenstein in Austria. You can find more info on Bremgarten here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremgarten,_Aargau

The original bridge is said to be from the 13th century; it was rebuilt in 1953: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reussbr%C3%BCcke_Bremgarten.

The bridge in the town of Rabenstein is relatively new: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabenstein_an_der_Pielach.

I still try to find out more about it and work on getting a better picture. The one shown here is not mine.

The Bremgarten bridge picture, however, was taken by me two weeks ago.

Yellow again!

Here I am with two more photos from Switzerland (courtesy: Robert Stein). They were taken in the city of Aarau, Canton of Aargau. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aarau.

The old city castle (Aarau Schläossli) dates back to the 13th century. A wooden covered foot bridge was added to the tower in the 19th century in order to cross the moat/trench. It can be seen on these two pictures.
