Dizzying Walking Bridges Only For The Brave

Do you have a fear of falling? Are you looking for an unusual way to beat that fear? Then check out these 10 bridges that some have labeled “only for the brave.” Take a look at these –if you dare.

1. Hanging Bridge of Ghasa, Nepal

This is perhaps one of the most extreme footbridges you could cross. It is 440 feet over a river canyon and is 1,100 feet in length. Composed of steel wires and ropes, this goat bridge sways in even a gentle breeze.

2. Arenal Hanging Bridges, Costa Rica

This series of bridges can be found in Volcan Arenal National Park. They are a part of a hiking trail through the rainforest. 190 feet in the air, you must complete the 1.86-mile hike to set foot on the ground again

3. Trift Glacier, Switzerland

Found in the land where money is untraceable and the cheese is fresh, this bridge is 330 feet over a rock-and-ice canyon. It stretches for over 550 feet. Due to the glacier melting, additional pieces have been attached so it still reaches the edge.

4. Capilano Suspension Bridge, Canada

On the north side of Vancouver, British Columbia, this suspension bridge has one million visitors yearly. It is part of a hike through the Pacific rainforest and hangs 300 feet over a river canyon. Be warned, some visitors like to make it sway while on it.

5. Kakum Canopy Walk, Ghana

Here in the Kakum National Park, you can walk the wood-and-rope bridge that dangles more than 200 feet off the ground. It stands over 1,000 feet long and you can see some of the world’s only remaining African elephants and Diana monkeys from there.

6. Carrick-a-Rede Bridge, North Ireland

Located near Ballintoy, this famous bridge is a hanging footbridge that connects a pair of islands joining two cliffs. It crosses the Atlantic and is often covered in water due to fog or rain. It’s 60 feet long and 100 feet in the air.

7. Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan

Some veteran visitors are scared by everything in this country. They claim that the buildings, buses, and bridges are seemingly waiting to collapse. Hussaini Hanging Bridge is no exception. The bridge connects two remote areas of the country across a mountain pass. Constructed by local farmers, this bridge is constructed of random sticks, rope, tiles and wooden boards. It hangs 150 feet above the pass.

8. Mount Hua Plank Walk, China

Every year 100 people fall off this dangerous walk. Both a ladder and a bridge, it’s used to reach a temple found 2,000 feet above the ground. It’s little more than rope, twine, and wooden planks with no sides or guardrails.
