September 8, 2015 by BollywoodPresents Team

Here are the most adrenaline pumping Hiking Trails and Bridges from around the world. Do you think you have the guts to attempt one of these? Get ready to face your fears, and for some, these trails could be your lifetime adventure.

El Caminito del Rey, Spain (World’s Deadliest Pathway)

El Caminito del Rey, Spain

‘El Caminito del Rey’ in spanish means “The King’s Little Pathway”. Its a crumbling walkway pinned along the walls of El Chorro, a huge limestone gorge near Álora, situated above the Guadalhorce river. Its a narrow walkway located on the steep walls of a gorge in Ardales, near Malaga in Spain. Considered to be the ‘most dangerous path in the world’, the Spanish authorities officially closed the trail in 2000 after five people fell to their deaths in less than two years.

Adrenlaine junkies however have reason to rejoice now as the ‘World’s deadliest walkway’ reopened to the public after undergoing years of repair work to make it structurally safe.

Trift Bridge, Switzerland

This one is in Switzerland, and feels somewhat less scary. Though the bridge sways a bit in windy conditions, it seems to be built well. Trift Bridge, above the Trift gorge, is the longest pedestrian-only suspension bridge in the Alps (if not in Europe). Enjoy the magnificent surroundings.
