The Highline 179 is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world. It connects Ehrenberg Castle ruins to Fort Claudia, spanning the strategically important pass that these fortresses once guarded. The length of the bridge is 403 meters and it stands 113 metres above the ground. The ticket to cross it costs EUR8 and tickets are available from vending machines and the museum below. Without a doubt there is a certain element of fear in crossing it, many older people need to hang onto the railing - something I believe related to balance as we get older. Others may have a fear of heights and when one can see through the slatted bridge floor to the ground below this is understandable. The bridge moves with the wind and with the force of people walking on it. Personally, I found it quite excillerating, however I understand that this is not something for everyone!
