Schöllen Gorge

(Local Name: Schöllenen) After passing the Spänngi bridge, Road 2 enters the Schöllenen (probably from Latin "scala"=ladder), a wild gorge enclosed between precipitous granite walls. After another four sharp bends (fine views) the road crosses to the left bank again on the Vordere Brücke. Thereafter it crosses the Göschenen-Reuss and continues to wind sharply downhill on the St Gotthard road to the village of Göschenen.
