Ever dreamt about crossing over a suspension bridge above a forest? If so, this location should be on your bucket list! 300-feet up in the air, you're able to walk across this 1,000-foot long viaduct that serves up 360-degree views of the forest of Mörsdorf. It can be challenging being so high up in the sky and having to walk along the narrow path, but if you're up for it, it's well-worth the trek — and it makes for a jaw-dropping photo.

How to get there

This image was taken along the Geirelay Suspension Bridge (Hängeseilbrücke Geierlay), which is in Mörsdorf, Germany. To get here, you'll need to have access to a car. First, you'll want to park in Mörsdorf. There are some parking spots that will be available for free, but they are difficult to come by, so I recommend paying a small fee and parking in the Hängeseilbrücke Geierlay lot (50.104577, 7.337497) and then walking to the bridge. The walk to the bridge is about 30 minutes south and it'll lead you through some nice fields. Follow the signs toward the bridge (it will be well-marked) and then reference the GPS coordinates to see where I stood for this north-facing perspective.
