Check Out The World’s Longest Pedestrian Suspension Bridge

by Anthony FalcoThe world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge just opened in Switzerland.The 1,600-foot-long bridge is nestled in the heart of the Alps, connecting a hiking trail between the towns of Grachen and Zermatt. Known as “Europaweg,” the well-known path for hikers is famous for its panoramic views of the Matterhorn, Weisshorn and Bernese Alps. Now that the suspension bridge reached 300 feet from the ground at its highest point, the views are about to get even more breathtaking.The bridge took more than two months to build and includes a “vibration damping system” to prevent the structure from swinging, a feature that could help many travelers – provided they don’t look down.
