Introducción
La excursión de Wassen a Göschenen y a través del ojo de aguja de la garganta Schöllenenschlucht a Andermatt está estrechamente vigilada por el diablo. Una serie de carreteras históricas, puentes, puntos aduaneros y albergues permite experimentar el tráfico premoderno.
Descripción
The historic hike to Andermatt starts in Wassen, famous for its "Chileli" (little church). Since the Gotthard Railway opening in 1882, it has been a landmark on the train ride south, during which you get to see the little Baroque church from three different angles. The stone and wood-built houses, along with the splendid fountain dominating the village square, are also a sight to behold. After two short sections along the motorway, the route leaves the road for good and continues slightly above the Reuss river. At Fusterblacken, you are directly above the motorway. A little further on, the path turns into a gravel road. The route continues along the railway line to Göschenen.
Most people know Göschenen, located at the top of the Urner Reusstal valley, only from passing through it. The village was bustling between 1872 and 1882 and again almost a hundred years later, from 1970 to 1980. At the time, the world's longest railway tunnel and later the longest road tunnel were built. For this purpose, thousands of guest workers come to the village. Stretching to the west of Göschenen, away from the flow of traffic, lies the Göscheneralptal valley, a breathtakingly beautiful recreational area boasting reservoirs, moors, ponds and the 3,630-metre-high Dammastock.
The route now leads through the Schöllenenschlucht (gorge) and, shortly after, across the beautiful, three-arch Häderlisbrücke (stone bridge). Your hike continues directly above the road, with the Reuss roaring ever more wildly through the valley. After the last bends, you can already see the monument to General Suvorov, who in 1799 successfully led Russian troops through the Schöllenenschlucht despite resistance by the French. The famous Teufelsbrücke (Devil's Bridge) follows immediately after that. Around the year 1200, the people of Ursern – who knows, maybe even with help from the devil – achieved the unique feat of building a bridge across the gorge, which was previously considered impassable. In 1595, the wooden bridge was replaced by a stone structure. Note: The short 15-minute detour passing through the military shaft and above the Teufelsbrücke is worthwhile. The stage ends in Andermatt at the foot of the Oberalp Pass.
