The Spreuer Bridge, built in 1408, is another beautiful covered wooden bridge crossing the Reuss river in the Lucerne old town. It's not nearly as famous as the Chapel Bridge but still worth a visit.

You can get some nice pictures of this bridge with the river and Jesuit church in frame, by walking to the next bridge, Geissmattbrücke.

It's known for its medieval "death paintings" on the interior, which include a lot of grim symbols related to mortality.

Location: near Pfistergasse 24, 6003 Luzern
