Schaufelschluchtbrücke

Bridges into Ebnit

Marte.Marte Architects

The spectacular mountain road to Ebnit is a sight worth seeing in its own right, since the road along the perpendicular rock faces and through dark natural tunnels has a perilous and, at times even dramatic, effect. On the valley side, the bridge over the Schaufelschlucht lies twisted in cast concrete on the stable rock.

Another masterpiece by Marte.Marte Architects connects part of the spectacular mountain road from Dornbirn to the vacation village of Ebnit. Numerous curves and quite a few natural tunnels characterize the adventurous road and thus the winding concrete bridge merges with the rough yet breathtaking gorge landscape.

As unspectacular as the Schanerloch Bridge appears from the top view, as imposing it shines from the bank of the Ache flowing down the valley. Awarded with the Hypo-Bauherrenpreis 2010

The third bridge - the Kohlhaldenbrücke, was built in 2017 and forms the conclusion of the "bridge trilogy".
