If you wish to experience the breathtaking panoramas of the mountainous Ai-Petri region on the southeastern coast of Crimea, you must first brave the wooden bridges that tower over vast ravines.

Stomach-jolting: You have to have nerves of steel to risk death or serious injury when
you take on one of the world's most dangerous trails — Mount Hua in China.
It features stomach-churning drops, vertical ascents, steep staircases and
narrow walkways . . . with only a small chain to cling onto.

Many travelers' biggest fears were realized when a tourist dropped a mug on a glass walkway
on the Yuntai Mountain in Henan Province, causing the floor to shatter.
The attraction opened in September and has now been closed for repairs.

the Millau Viaduct in France is so high it is often above the clouds.
In fact, at its highest point, the bridge is taller than the Eiffel Tower!

one way is to go through it — via the tiny Tibetan bridge.

Spanning nearly a mile across the Taungthaman Lake in Myanmar, the U-Bein Bridge
is a rickety platform made of teakwood. 
The bridge is held together on both sides with 1,086 pillars that come up out of the water,
and it looks like it could do with some extra support in many places.

"Monkey Bridges" are made up of one large log for your feet, and another smaller one for your hands.

Thankfully today there are more robust safety features in place,
but it is still a scary experience for those who gaze down on the rocks below.

The Qeswachaka Bridge in Peru is an Inca rope bridge placed over canyons, gorges and rivers
and is a handwoven bridge made out of a local grass called Qoya. 
Every year local villagers re-make the bridge — before it deteriorates through wear and use.
