Suspension bridge Titlis Cliff Walk

Fans to tickle your nerves in the near future is to go to Switzerland. It has opened a new "attraction" — a suspension bridge, claiming the title of the worst in the world.

The Titlis Cliff Walk bridge is located on mount Titlis at an altitude of over three thousand meters above sea level. It is believed that this is the highest suspension bridge in Europe. For comparison, the height of another famous suspension bridge Switzerland — Trift Bridge is just 100 metres away.





The structure offers an unforgettable view of the Swiss Alps, and in clear weather you can see even the "edge" of Italy. However, during the opening of the bridge there was a pad — a snowstorm and visibility was reduced to several meters, which in turn affected the entertainment event.

The construction of the Titlis Cliff Walk took only five months. The cost of the work amounted to one million pounds. The resulting structure in a length of almost 100 metres and a maximum width of less than one meter.





The bridge is so strong that, according to the builders, can withstand the weight approximately 500 tons of snow and strong gusts of wind, which at this altitude can reach 200 kilometers per hour.

However, officials have promised that, if necessary, the bridge will be cleaned. In addition, they expect that the most popular bridge will be used by all in the summer time, but now interest among tourists is huge.
