The Kyburg Bridge or Linsental Bridge was built in 1845/46 and reinforced in 1941.
It is the oldest wooden bridge in the city that still stands in its original location.
As the only wooden bridge on the Töss, the suspension bridge still serves road traffic at its original location today.
The building is listed.

Kyburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

After the easy ride along the Töss, the climb to Kyburg begins. A steep 160 meters in altitude! But the effort is definitely worth it, because the castle of the same name, which was first mentioned in 1027, sits at the top of the rocky spur. If you don't feel like taking a history lesson, you can take a break in one of the restaurants or look forward to the upcoming, rapid descent.

Impressions around Kyburg

Highlight • Settlement

It's not just the castle with its viewpoint that's impressive in Kyburg. The entire village is extremely picturesque and worth a visit.

Forest Gorge Trail

Highlight • Gorge

Here, the first part goes steeply downhill. If you don't have proper footwear, you'll have to be careful. Danger of slipping!
