Linth Bridge, Rüti

The Rüti bridge spans the Linth with two flattened arches and a central pillar. The road is paved with cube stones. The building was probably built in the second half of the 19th century

Linth Riverside Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Because of such small trails, it is worth not always following the Veloweg signs on a mountain bike.
