This historic stone bridge spans a dramatic gorge and serves as a vital crossing on the Gotthard route. The site consists of a sequence of three bridges constructed over the Reuss river. Local legends attribute the bridge's challenging construction to the devil, and the area holds historical significance due to its role in the Napoleonic Wars.
The site features a large Suvorov monument and an expressionist mural of the devil painted by the artist Heinrich Danioth. Multimedia exhibits provide detailed information about the history and legends surrounding the gorge and its bridges.
The Schöllenen circular trail offers views of the alpine gorge and the river below. As a designated Cultural Heritage Site, the bridge is a key historical highlight on the Route 1291 touring route. The site is open to the public.
