Switzerland 🇨🇭, Trift Bridge

In the central part of Switzerland there is one of the longest and highest suspension bridges in Europe. The Trift Bridge got its name from a glacier located on Mount Titlis. As a result of the melting of its lower part in 2002, a small emerald-colored lake Triftze was formed at an altitude of more than 3000 meters. Although it decorated an already charming region, it seriously hampered the electrical work that was carried out in the vicinity of the glacier.

In 2004, a suspension bridge appeared above the lake, at a height of about one hundred meters, the length of which was 170 meters, and the width was 1 meter. The structure swayed violently in the wind, and not everyone dared to walk on that bridge. In the summer of 2009, the bridge was modernized. As a result, the structure turned out to be very reliable and stable - the Trift bridge can withstand up to 500 tons of snow and wind gusts up to 200 kilometers per hour.

The bridge claims to be the scariest in the world.
