Chapel Bridge

Of course the European ones came first, but there does not seem to be any documentary evidence to show that American bridge builders learned anything from the precursor bridges in Europe.

One of the oldest covered bridges in Europe, and in fact the oldest wooden truss bridge in the world, is a 204.7-meter-long Kappelbrücke in Lucerne, Switzerland, originally constructed in 1333.

It was originally part of the fortifications of Lucerne.

The purpose is partly to connect the two parts of the city and partly to protect it from attacks coming from the lake.

But it was two blocks...

No, I guess four blocks from the train station, three blocks to Chapel Bridge.

It was, it was just, like, really conveniently located, a block away from a grocery store.

So I would stay there, but just know that those are issues with that, and you need to try and make certain that you can get free breakfast there.

Yeah, of course, the beautiful old town of Lucerne.

As I already mentioned, it's really a picture-perfect city, so don't forget to stroll around the old town, even if the weather is a bit colder, to take nice pictures of the iconic chapel bridge that is a very famous...

But also there is many options for excursions.

For example, lake cruises are always also continuing during winter season.
