caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Das obere Zürichseegebiet um Rapperswil (SG) mit den ausgedehnten Wäldern (Rütner und Joner Wald) auf der Karte von Josias Murer aus dem Jahr 1566. Nebst heutigen Gemeinden – u.a. links Grüningen, oben Bubikon und Rüti (ZH), rechts Jonen (Jona SG), unten Insel Ufenau und Hurden (SZ) – sind die Rütner Weiler Hülistein, Rüssel und Matten eingezeichnet. Der Hüllistein ("Hohler Stein") an der Strasse zwischen Rapperswil und Rüti war in jener Zeit weithin als ein Naturschauspiel bekannt, ein Wasserfall unter einer Naturbrücke. Deutlich eingezeichnet sind nebst anderen Details die Holzbrücke Rapperswil-Hurden und rechts die Jona (Ione), welche dem heutigen Ortsteil Jona seinen Namen gab.[Beschreibung teilweise übernommen aus der Schautafel 36 Museen]
context_page_description: Holzbrücke Rapperswil-Hurden is a wooden pedestrian bridge between the city of Rapperswil and the village of Hurden crossing the upper Lake Zürich in Switzerland. The prehistoric timber piles discovered to the west of the Seedamm date back to 1523 BC. The island settlement Technikum is a prehistoric pile-dwelling settlement which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric Pile dwellings around the Alps. The first wooden footbridge led across Lake Zürich, followed by several reconstructions at least until the late 2nd century AD when the Roman Empire built a 6 metres wide wooden bridge. Between 1358 and 1360, Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria, built a 'new' wooden bridge across the lake that was used until 1878. On 6 April 2001, the reconstructed wooden footbridge was opened, being the longest wooden bridge in Switzerland.
