Bridges are valued for their reliability and safety. However, there are a few worlds’ bridges crossing which can be done only due to your own risk. We are going to introducing the 10 bridges that could cause a rush of adrenaline in the real meaning of the word. They are absolutely not recommending to those who are afraid of heights and who are to slow while moving as you never know what’s going to happen the next moment.

Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia

The largest island national park of Malaysia has the world’s longest suspension bridge. When in March, the rainy season ends, a lot of people come to this park to see the rain forest, the bright amazing birds and all kinds of insects that swim in the clear water of waterfalls, fish and, of course, go through the 530-meter bridge, hanging at a height of 25-40 meters above the ground and enjoy the jungle. Now, however, making such a walk over the forest is not possible, the thing is that as a result of the rainy weather the bridge lost its firmness and six months ago this part of the bridge was closed for repairs.

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, UK

This small Suspension Bridge in the town of Antrim, connecting the mainland with the tiny islands Kerrick, is able to make the thrill of everyone traveling to the Northern Ireland. This Rope Bridge has become one of the most visited attractions in this region (only last year this attractive bride hosted about 250,000 tourists from around the world). This is surprising, because to be brave enough to overcome the 20-meter path laid by 28-meter height is something that is not something typical for a large audience.

Loboc Hanging Bridge, Philippines

It’s a fascinating attraction for tourists – to cross the river on Lobok with the help of the swaying bamboo bridge. The fragile structure, hanging on the 20-meter height, frightens even the most desperate tourists.But for those who wish to see a little typical Philippine village on the another side of the river, have to overcome this dangerous obstacle. By the way the destination point is famous for its unique Lobok fauna, beautiful waterfalls and floating restaurants, so if you find yourself in the Philippines, you should definitely visit these places. So you better think twice whether to avoid or to cross the street.

Trift Bridge, Switzerland

The longest pedestrian bridge in the Alps near the Gadmen was first built in 2004 and most recently, in 2009 is was rebuilt in a new manner. Now it has become even more safe and secure. Now fans of trekking, traveling to these places to see the glacier, can make the best photos of the lake Thrift from an altitude of 100 meters. 170-meter-long passage over the abyss will truly become one of the most exciting pats of the Swiss experience.

Ghasa, Nepal

Suspension bridge near the village of Gus – the only way into the big world for the inhabitants of several villages, so they must not only constantly jump over it themselves but need to even overtake their animals. Isn’t this crazy? Therefore, despite the daunting and dangerous appearance, this bridge is being tested by hundreds of heads of local cattle every single day. Let’s say that it’s reliable enough.

Aiguille du Midi, France

At one of the mountains in the French Alps there is a unique observation deck – a tiny bridge between two cliffs, overlooking the most complete view of the whole Mont Blanc massif. Of course, it is rather broad and reliable, and does not sway in the legs of hundreds of tourists passing through it, but a great height at which it is built, makes the transition to it in an exciting adventure. After admiring the fascinating scene which opens in front of them turists can have a break at the tiny restaurant which is located simply nearby.

Kakum National Park, Ghana

If you decide to visit a national park in the south of Ghana, near the town of Abrafo then you might need a specially trained guide. He will lead via the secret paths through thickets of the rainforest to show the unique plants and animals, endangered species – pygmy elephants, forest buffalo and civet. And, of course, you will be led to one of the main attractions of the park – Rope Bridge which is around 40 meters above the ground. And keep in mind that it’s not the end of everything: you might also ask to get a “rope route”, which consists of seven bridges totaling 330 meters.

Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan

This Bridge really deserves the title of one of the most dangerous bridges of the word. It lays over the river Hunza in Northern Pakistan. You would not believe, but the bridge stuck over the swirling flow with its shaky rope design is still being used by the local residents for its main purpose. However, since you have the courage to travel on this not the safest country in the world, then you will not be afraid to walk across the bridge for sure!

Marienbruecke, Germany

The photo of this bridge in the Bavarian Alps near the fabulously beautiful Neuschwanstein Castle looks strong, solid and not terrible at all. But it is only close to the cliffs that stretch between the structures, where the heart starts beating faster than usual. And if you walk up to its middle, and then look at the fast way down the mountain stream you will be capture the spirit of terror even from the splendid views.

Musou Tsuribashi bridge, Japan

The most terrible suspension bridge of the rising sun is in the Japanese Alps. It consists of a rope and boards attached to it, some of which have already been destroyed by time: built in 50 years, it is also the oldest suspension bridge of this region. Going through the thin boards connected with the ropes shaken by the wind – this is sheer madness. You can definitely repeat this feat, but consider the fact that it is very, very dangerous!
