Ringoldingen Bridge S-06-29*

Wilerbrücke S-06-30*

Hi Folks
On May 3, we took the train from Interlaken to Spiez, then to Montreux. There were six covered bridges along the railroad route between Spiez and Zweisimmen.

Liz stationed herself at an open window and snapped away. Liz looked in her covered bridge list and determined that they are all in the Simme river valley. She decided that she had pictures of six of ten as follows : Sz 06-29 thru 38. The bridge labeled Simme 6 and 7 reminded me of the concrete covered bridge. It is new and has a metal roof. The last photo, of SZ 24-02, is of a covered bridge at the Chateau de Chillon, located on Lake Geneva (Lac Leman). Liz's guide does not give a date, but the Chateau pamphlet dates the bridge as 18th century. Liz's guide says that it has a Stringer support.

On May 4 we flew home, tired and happy. Liz found 21 covered bridges and I rode on many trains.
