This image is a vintage travel poster for the
Schöllenen Gorge
and the Devil's Bridge
in Switzerland. The poster advertises travel to the towns of Göschenen and Andermatt, which are connected by the route through the gorge. This particular poster was created in 1934 by the Swiss artist Otto Baumberger. The image depicts the railway line and the Devil's Bridge, which is a famous landmark in the gorge.
The Schöllenen Gorge
is a significant location in the Swiss Alps, known for its dramatic scenery and historical importance as a major route on the Gotthard Pass. The Devil's Bridge has been rebuilt multiple times, and its name is tied to a local legend about its construction. The gorge was also the site of a battle between Napoleon's French troops and Russian forces in 1799. |
