For several millennia, Man has acquired the habit of deflecting the most powerful obstacles in nature, which are the sea, rivers and mountains, by building bridges. But sometimes, nature turns out to be so indomitable that constructions are downright dubious, even dangerous. Hold on tight, because you're about to experience what five of the world's most extreme bridges look like!

1. The Hussaini Bridge , Pakistan
It takes courage to cross this footbridge built by the inhabitants of the village with a few pieces of rope and wooden planks. Crossing the Hunza River, the Hussaini suspension bridge was initially built on a temporary basis to make life easier for locals. But ultimately, no improvement has been made to it in recent years, and everyone continues to use it daily.

2. Carrick-a-Rede Bridge , Northern Ireland
Here again a bridge very easily accessible from France! The Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge is one of the most terrifying on the European continent. Overlooking the sea at about thirty meters in height, it is made of ropes and wood and swings about twenty meters long. Even if the bridge is perfectly safe today, it is not uncommon to hear the materials crack under our feet. A beautiful place but absolutely to be avoided if you have vertigo!

3. The Trift Suspension Bridge , in Switzerland
Want to experience the thrill without spending long hours on the plane? Find a plane ticket to Bern and head for the Swiss Alps. This is where the Trift Suspension Bridge is located , one of the tallest and longest suspension bridges on our planet. Stabilized only 10 years ago, it allows pedestrians to cross the lake at a height of around 100 meters. It offers a breathtaking view of the Trift Glacier .

4. The Langkawi Sky Bridge , Malaysia
On the island of Langkawi in Malaysia , a bridge accessible only by cable car has been built at more than 700 meters above sea level. Exclusively pedestrian, it offers superb views of the island and the sea, and even over Indonesia to the southwest and Thailand to the north. The cable car ride to get there allows you to fly over the tropical forest and its multiple waterfalls. But most surprisingly, with the Langkawi Airlift , is the way it was built. Made on the ground, the gangway was then raised to a height of 700 meters by helicopter!

5. The Royal Gorge Bridge , in Colorado, USA
As well as being the tallest suspension bridge in the United States , the Royal Gorge Bridge also has a fascinating history. Built at the end of the 1930s at nearly 300 meters above the void, it was during its first 50 years of existence entirely devoid of stabilization cables, so much so that when taking it, the bridge was totally unstable! Today it has become one of Colorado's top attractions not only for its spooky ride over the Arkansas River , but also for its breathtaking view of the canyon. A cable car was set up a few years ago for those who love the thrills.
