Walking the bridge is really great. Due to the corona, this is currently only possible in one direction, on the dam wall next door you can then go back and see the imposing bridge from the side.

From the dam you have a wonderful panoramic view. But on weekends it's very crowded here when the weather is nice. No place where you can enjoy the peace!

For the adrenalin junkies among you, I recommend the rapid descent with the double rope slide 120 meters down into the valley just above the water of the dam Wendefurth.

July 16, 2022,Rappbodetalsperre - Hängeseilbrücke Titan-RT im Harz
I did it! 😄

I went over the titanium bridge (titan-rt.de/die-bruecke.html).

I've been meaning to do that for a long time. At approx. 458 m, it is the longest pedestrian cable suspension bridge in the world. You shouldn't be afraid of heights, especially since the path goes over gratings. At 100 m height I had a fantastic view. Great, it …

5 euros parking for over three hours so you can cross the bridge for 7.50. Per adult. Then another 1 euro for the toilet. But still a great experience on the longest suspension rope bridge on our planet. The “Fettluke”, a snack bar with food, drinks and cool rock music, is also nice.
Oh yes, by paying a few smaller …

With almost 500 meters, it is the longest suspension footbridge in Germany.
Definitely spectacular and beautifully built. The view from the bridge is amazing.
On the west side, you look out at the impressive dam, while on the east side lies a second reservoir.
Almost everyone chooses to walk the bridge back and forth.
The forest with an adjoining second …

Today we combined our walk over the world's longest pedestrian rope suspension bridge (483m long and 100m high) with a short hike.
Even if it is very long and high, it looks quite stable compared to the suspension bridges in Nepal.
So if you have a head for heights, you can easily walk over it for a fee of 6 …

You have to budget some money for this tour.
Bridge €7.5o per person
Parking €5
Pee €1


But it's great to walk across this long bridge. It is said to be the longest suspension bridge in the world.

If you want something a little more exciting, you can also do it for €39 per person. fly a bit.

Overcome your fear of heights. The bridge shakes quite well.

Crazy that some dare to try the zipline or even the swing under the bridge! 😉

Short hike in the snow with lots of sunshine. Wonderful!!!

We actually wanted to leave from Hexentanz Platz, unfortunately the parking lot was closed 🤷🙈...so we quickly looked for a new tour and off we went... hiking today was very stressful 🤨, too many people on the way, then the suspension bridge... Not mine at all😱🫢...so we went back and then finished the circular route.
