Beautiful place, very quiet

A small covered wooden bridge – it stands almost directly under the very high SOB railway bridge and close to power plant buildings. As a result, it doesn't really stand out.

A steep path, but a very good and beautiful connection from Kubel (power plant on the Sitter river and covered wooden bridge over the Urnäsch river) up to and down Sturzenegg. The path runs almost entirely through the forest.
