Allmendsteg

Allmendsteg is a bridge over the highway and over the Allmend park below it. It goes from Gfellstrasse to Elfenweg and Scheibenrain. It is named after the word Allmend(e), which means common land. More specifically, this refers to the Allmend Brunau, which is a large open space where people (and dogs!) can enjoy a bit of nature and a some sport installations.
