A lot of ancient bridges across Europe are referred to as the Devils Bridge.
After the bridge was built, the villagers outsmarted the devil by sending a goat across the bridge.
Angered by the trick, the devil picked up a large stone to smash the bridge to pieces.
The first bridge across the river was built in 1230.
It was a wooden bridge and needed frequent maintenance.
In the 16th century, the wooden bridge was replaced by a stone arch bridge.
During this battle the bridge was heavily damaged by the retreating French army.
The bridge gave away in a storm in 1888.
The second devil’s bridge still exists today but is not used.
In 1994, the Swiss governmentissued a commemorative coinfor the Teufelsbrucke.
