Heilig Hüsli
Description
Heilig Hüsli is a bridge chapel in Rapperswil, Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland.GeographyThe chapel is located next to the so-called Seedamm at the Rapperswil railway station, and as of the today it is situated on a small island on upper Lake Zürich (Obersee) on the Holzbrücke Rapperswil-Hurden, a historical wooden bridge that was reconstructed in 2001.On occasion of the formation of the Alps, the fossilized sediments material of the body of water between the Ricken and Etzel chains unfolded. There arose the typical rock bands that form the Lindenhof hill in Rapperswil, or the islands of Ufnau, Lützelau and Heilighüsli. During the last Ice Age the island was under a thick layer of ice, and the hard layers of conglomerate rock and the sandstone ridge survived the sanding by the glacier.
