EN: The Kelchbach bridge is located about 100 meters north of the church in Naters next to the village square. The bridge is 7.5 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. It was built after a flood in 1669, when the two older bridges were swept away by the floods. The arch is made of a double row of manually processed rubble. The bridge railing is also built from rubble and smaller stones that are solidified with cement mortar.
