Adrenaline rush
The bridge is hidden between mountains amid lush greenery and hangs 175 meters above the River Paiva in Arouca Geopark. The scenery is incredibly calming but the bridge is not for the faint-hearted.

Wobbly steps
The bridge is held up by steel cables and just two towers on each side, making it wobble with every step. An adrenaline rush, the bridge is open for all from Monday.
