Bad Säckingen Covered Bridge

　　The Bad Säckingen Covered Bridge spans the Rhine River, linking the German town of Bad Säckingen with the Swiss town of Stein, enabling convenient passage between the two cities. This wooden arched covered bridge was originally built in 1272, and has been destroyed several times throughout its history. The current structure dates back to the year 1700, measures 203.7 meters in length and 5 meters in width, and is the longest wooden arched covered bridge in Europe. Since 1797, the bridge has been open exclusively to pedestrians and has been designated as a national historic monument.
