We love to walk/hike in Europe, but this is definitely one "trail" we will NOT be taking anytime soon (amazing video)...

I hadn't seen this on previous threads, so sorry if this has been posted before.

This "trail" was built on the side of a mountain in Spain between 1901 - 1905 to carry workers to/from an hydroelectric plant. It was "officially" closed in 2000 after the deaths (duh!) of several tourists, but some people still apparently get through.

It's 700ft above the river!

Need to whole the entire clip. (sometimes takes a while to download)

It's pretty amazing IMO.

Jean - brightcove has been revamped their site. I had trouble earlier this morning, but was fine for about an hour and now seems under construction again. I just kept trying. If I find another link I'll post.
