Seedamm is the partially artificial causeway and bridge at the most narrow area of Lake Zurich, between Hurden (SZ) and Rapperswil (SG). The Seedamm carries a road and a railway across the lake, with the railway being used by the S5 and S40 lines of the S-Bahn Zürich and by the Südostbahn Voralpen Express. == Geography and location == The Seedam is based on an ice age moraine located between the three Swiss cantons of Schwyz, St. Gallen and Zürich. This morain formed a peninsula protruding from the south shore of the lake and containing the village of Hurden, a small island to the Rapperswil side of the lake, and a section of shallow water dividing Lake Zürich and its upper part (so-called ''Obersee''). The causeway and bridges span this area of shallow water, are in length and carry a road and a railway line. To the east of the modern causeway and bridge, there is the ''Holzbrücke Rapperswil-Hurden'' (wooden bridge for pedestrians), built in 2001 as a reconstruction of the first bridge between eastern and western lakesides around 1650 B.C. Whilst the bridge sections of the Seedamm allow smaller vessels to pass under them, the main shipping channel between the lower and upper halves of Lake Zürich now passes through the Hurden ship canal, which was cut through the base of the Hurden peninsular in 1942/43, thus placing the village of Hurden on an artificial island. This canal is spanned by the ''Sternenbrücke'', which also carries both road and railway. This bridge was renewed between March and November 2010 to allow 40 ton trucks to cross the Seedamm. ''Frauenwinkel'' is a mire landscape situated at the ''Seedamm'' area on the easternly ''Zürichsee'' lakeshore between Hurden and Pfäffikon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seedamm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
