The Swiss Trift Bridge is also included in the top ten most dangerous bridges in the world
Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia
The longest suspension bridge in the world is located in the largest island national park in Malaysia. When the rainy season ends in March, many people come to this park to see the tropical forest, bright amazing birds and all kinds of insects, swim in the clear water of waterfalls, go fishing, and of course, walk along the 530-meter bridge suspended 25-40 meters above the ground and admire the jungle. However, such a walk over the forest is not possible now: half a year ago, part of the bridge was closed for repairs.
Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan
The well-deserved title of one of the most dangerous bridges in the world, where it is better not to go without personal insurance and CASCO, belongs to the bridge over the Hunza River in Northern Pakistan. Believe it or not, this flimsy rope structure suspended over a raging stream is still used by locals for its intended purpose. However, if you have been brave enough to travel to this not the safest country in the world, then you definitely won't be afraid to cross the bridge!
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, United Kingdom
This small suspension bridge in the town of Antrim, connecting the mainland to the tiny island of Carrick, can make everyone traveling in Northern Ireland tremble. The rope bridge has become one of the most visited attractions in this region (only last year about 250 thousand tourists crossed it). This is surprising, because one must be quite brave to cover these 20 meters of path laid at a height of 28 meters.
Loboc Hanging Bridge, Philippines
This is a truly thrilling attraction for tourists – crossing the Loboc River on a swaying bamboo bridge. The fragile structure, suspended at a height of 20 meters, frightens even the most daring adventurers. However, those who want to see a small typical Philippine village on the other side of the river have to overcome this obstacle. By the way, the town of Loboc is famous for its unique fauna, beautiful waterfalls and floating restaurants, so if you find yourself in the Philippines, you should definitely visit these places.
Trift Bridge, Switzerland
The longest pedestrian bridge in the Alps near Gadmen was first built in 2004, and quite recently, in 2009, it was rebuilt. Now it has become even more reliable and safe. From now on, trekking enthusiasts traveling through these places to see the glacier can take the best photos of Lake Trift from a height of 100 meters. The 170-meter crossing over the abyss will be one of the most exciting Swiss experiences.
Ghasa, Nepal
The suspension bridge near the village of Ghasa is the only way to the outside world for residents of several villages, so they not only have to cross it themselves constantly, but also drive animals across. Therefore, despite its frightening appearance, this bridge, tested by hundreds of heads of local cattle, is quite reliable.
Aiguille du Midi, France
On one of the mountains in the French Alps there is a unique observation deck – a tiny bridge connecting two rocks, from which the most complete view of the entire Mont Blanc massif opens. Of course, it is quite wide and reliable, and does not sway under the feet of hundreds of tourists walking on it, but the enormous height at which it is built makes crossing it an exciting adventure. Tourists who ascend by cable car are greeted by a tiny restaurant right there in the rock.
Kakum National Park, Ghana
If you decide to visit the national park in southern Ghana near the town of Abrafo, specially trained guides will take you on secret trails through the thickets of the tropical forest to show you unique plants and endangered animals - pygmy elephants, forest buffaloes and civets. And, of course, they will lead you to one of the park's main attractions – a rope bridge suspended 40 meters above the ground. Know that it is not the only one here: ask to be taken along the 'rope path' consisting of seven bridges with a total length of 330 meters.
Marienbruecke, Germany
In the photo, this bridge in the Bavarian Alps near the fabulously beautiful Neuschwanstein Castle looks strong, solid and not at all scary. But as soon as you approach this structure stretched between the rocks, your heart starts beating much faster. And if you go to its middle and then look at the swiftly flowing mountain stream far below, you will be breathless both with terror and with the magnificent view.
Musou Tsuribashi bridge, Japan
The scariest suspension bridge in the Land of the Rising Sun is located in the Japanese Alps. It consists of ropes and planks attached to them, some of which have already been destroyed by time: built in the 50s, it is also the oldest suspension bridge in this region. Walking on thin boards swayed by the wind is sheer madness. You, of course, can also repeat this feat, but keep in mind that it is very, very dangerous!
