Münsterbrücke

This guide to Münsterbrücke in Zurich opens with a question every swimmer in the Zürcher Limmatschwimmen has to answer: floating under this arch with the current pulling you on and no ladder in sight, how do you get out. You'll hear about the roughly sixty-year-old river swim that turns this stretch of the Limmat into a legal swimming lane one weekend a summer, once the water clears twenty-one degrees, and how swimmers setting off from the Frauenbad pool reach this bridge within minutes. The crossing itself was rebuilt in stone between 1836 and 1838, from Alois Negrelli's plans.
