This black and white photograph, taken by the Gebrüder Wehrli around the turn of the 20th century, captures the dramatic landscape of the Gotthard Pass in Switzerland. The image showcases the narrow "Urnerloch" tunnel, a passage carved through the sheer rock face, and a wooden bridge spanning the Reuss river. The imposing mountains, the flowing water, and the man-made structures create a striking contrast, highlighting the power of nature and the ingenuity of human engineering. This snapshot provides a glimpse into the rugged beauty and historical significance of the Gotthard Pass, a vital route through the Alps.
