The world-famous Kappelbrücke (Chapel Bridge) is one of the symbols of Lucerne. It’s the oldest wooden bridge in Europe, and at 202 metres, the second longest. It was built as a bridge over the Reuss River in 1365. The bridge’s pediments contain 111 triangular paintings depicting important scenes from Swiss history. The Kappelbrücke is just 15 minutes from the Motel Brüggli by car or 22 minutes by public transport.
