Highly recommended. However, you'd better be free from vertigo, as the bridge is quite wobbly.

SKYWALK WILLINGEN-SAUERLAND
is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Germany🇩🇪 and the second-longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world🌏.
The Skywalk is located near the Mühlenkopfschanze ski jump in Willingen, northern Hesse.
Construction began in 2022, and the official opening took place on July 1, 2023.
The investment cost was 4.5 million euros💰.
The Skywalk was built in the Tibetan style.
The bridge is 665 meters long, and the highest point is 100 meters above ground. The total weight is 125 tons. The two portal supports were anchored in the ground with 46 anchor and drilled piles, with the longest anchor reaching a depth of 24 meters. Hydraulic cylinders are designed to retract and tighten the bridge in the event of a strong storm so that it doesn't dangle so much in the wind. 🌬If wind speeds exceed 80 km/h, the suspension bridge will be closed.
