Devil's Bridge - Canton Schwyz, Switzerland

The world our early Swiss Hiestand lived in was filled with legends of witchcraft and devilish interactions with humans.  Located a few miles from where our Hiestand ancestors lived was a bridge that they surely would have known about–the Devil’s Bridge.  Our June 2023 Hiestand-Haston tour group visited this bridge.  Here’s the story of this old bridge, supposedly built by the Devil himself.
