Worth noticing
The page says local resident Reto Klötzli checks nails on Mondays and marks a temporarily secured loose plank with red tape.

Field notes

The page distinguishes conditions across the year: it says February low water exposes stones on the left bank, while July water covers them. It advises taking the middle of the boards after rain, where the wood dries first, and says bicycles should remain by the stairs because the gaps are too wide and wet timber is slippery. A short first-person August observation closes the page.
