World Monument



We found the Salginatobel Bridge (Robert Maillart) on a snowy, sinuous one lane road between Schiers and Schuders Switzerland by following the signs which pointed to the “world monument bridge”. It’s in an absolutely spectacular location and seems to defy gravity. We drove a route around Chur to see two additional bridges, one a spectacular cable-stayed bridge, the other similar to the bridges we saw on Christmas day. Even if you are not a bridge fan, this trip is phenomenal – the journey is as wondrous and beautiful as the destinations. We will happily take this trip again to show YOU the fascination of Switzerland – you will not be disappointed. See pictures here.

Hello Nancy!

Happy belated New Year!

This is so COOL!! Congratulations on your marriage and your move! How exciting!

Thanks for sharing this with me. I will share it will my husband and kids. The pictures are just beautiful!

I am still at Rolls Royce. I will be traveling to England in a couple of weeks for my job.

We moved this year as well - within the same country :-) but to a much larger home. We are truly blessed.

I have a friend from when I used to work at Raytheon who now lives in Germany. Her husband is head of the Psychology at a university. Their names are Bill and Dorothea King. If you are ever in Germany, look them up!

Take Care,
Vickie Johnson
