Have you ever seen any bridge on mountain, especially a rocky mountain where you can’t even imagine that there could be any bridge on any such place. Here I am showing you the bridge on the mountain Aiguille du midi.
Looking at the picture below, one cannot even imagine that a bridge can be built at such a place with such high and sharp mountains, but nothing is impossible.
Unable to locate the bridge? Take a look at the next picture.

There are a variety of reasons due to which a bridge can be considered to be dangerous; these may be that it’s very old, narrow, too high up above the land, over a quick river or if the wooden “floor” goes missing.
The thing that makes them dangerous is the fact that in spite of the condition of the bridge, they must have to be used; as many a time, probably these pathways are the main or even the only way for the local people of a small village to have an access to the bigger city. Among all the bridges, the the hanging bridges are the most popular bridges among tourists. Let us take a look at some of them.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is a bridge that is suspended by ropes. It is located near Ballintoy, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Through this bridge the mainland is linked to the tiny Carrick Island. The National trust own as well as maintain this site, this bridge spans twenty metres and it is thirty metres above the rocks below. Nowadays the bridge is mainly a tourist attraction. In 2007 227,000 visitors visit this site. Now, in late October or early November this bridge is taken down every year, it depends on weather conditions, and it again put up in March.
