The covered Spreuerbrucke bridge crosses the Reuss River in the Lucerne night

The image shows the Spreuerbrucke, Lucerne's second historic covered bridge, crossing the Reuss River in the heart of the city. Built in 1408, this wooden bridge is famous for the Dance of Death paintings created by Kaspar Meglinger in the 17th century. The night view reveals the river waters flowing swiftly beneath the structure, while the lights of the old town reflect creating light effects on the surface. On the opposite bank, historic buildings with their illuminated windows form a characteristic skyline. The name Spreuerbrucke derives from the German word for chaff, as it was the only point where threshing residues could be thrown into the river.
