Once upon a time there was a bridge…
Although this stone bridge, known as Saut de Brot, looks like something out of a fairy tale, it serves a very practical purpose. It connects walking trails on each side of the Areuse Gorge, a Swiss ravine offering safe passage to hikers exploring the lush Brot-Dessous area, a predominantly French-speaking region of this multilingual country. It's not known when the bridge was built exactly, although it's thought to be a fairly recent construction. But if that's true, how do we not know who built it? All this mystery leads us to suspect it's the work of helpful gnomes and fairies living deep in the Swiss woods. The end.
