We then walked across the other covered bridge - the Spreuerbrucke. This narrow, weathered, all-wood covered bridge dates from 1408. Its interior gables hold a series of eerie, well-preserved paintings (by Kasper Meglinger) of the Dance of Death that date from the 17th century. The inspiration for the paintings is the plague that hit Europe in the 14th century. Jake thought the skeletons were funny.
