Cool bridge, you must not have a fear of heights. Interesting is the hanging counterweight in the middle, which dampens vibrations.

The inn has up to 80 seats in the dining room and additionally a large sun terrace as well as a lounge area. It is only open during the summer season. Further information and opening hours can be found here: https://www.dorbia.ch/unser-restaurant

This spectacular suspension bridge lies quite modestly behind a construction fence. Yet it has nothing to hide. Not only is the view from here impressive, but so is the structure itself, with its glass viewing platform and impressive counterweight below. At home, you'd have to shell out €12 for that. It's recommended to include the bridge in the beautiful and varied 4km circular hike from/to Unterbäch. You can't do more than that in a 4km hike.
