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

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.

The Turtmanntal is easily accessible (also by bus) and an ideal starting point for trips to the Barrhorn, Meidpass and Augstbordpass, for example.

At the bottom of the Rhone Valley, while the river is still called Rotten here, a small pond reinforces the rural character of the place. This is the Baggilla, a pleasant place to rest after having faced the steep slopes of the surrounding mountains.

There are many ossuaries in the Alpine region, but also on the Iberian peninsula. As space in the churchyard was limited and there were no other cemeteries, the bones of the deceased were recovered after a while and transferred to ossuaries or chapels on the church grounds. Most of the bones lie in a jumble behind a wall of artfully layered skulls and femurs. Visitors should not disturb the peace of the dead.
