On my way back from Gotthard Pass I made a stop at the famous Devils bridge near Andermatt (Canton of Uri, Switzerland).
It crosses the Schöllenen Gorge which is impressive to see with its almost vertical walls.
First there was a wooden bridge at around year 1200 which was replaced by a first stone bridge in 1585 and lastet 60 years until it was destroyed by a huge storm.
The legend says that the devil offered his help to build the first stone bridge because it was almost impossible for the locals to build one by themselves - therefore its name Devils bridge.
I wasn't sure if I would get an GPS fix near the bridge because the place is surrounded by huge steep mountains.
But after some seconds of waiting the Mavic 2 Pro found at least 9 satellites and was ready to go!
The picture is impossible to shoot without a drone - and I was very careful never to lose visual line of sight...
It is a manually shot vertical pano.
(For some reason the image quality here is very poor - at my computer it is fine)
