New 140-metre long suspensin bridge in Salzburg

I read an article the other day in today's online editoin of "austriantimes.at" and it talks about a suspension bridge for walkers at the mountain station of the new Subnerkogelbahn.

I thought you might be interested because Badgastein is a popular ski-region and I think it's interested that Austria has the highest suspension bridge.

Basically what it says is that this bridge will be the highest bridge in Europe and that it will open at December.
It is also said that the bridge will reach out from the terrace of the mountain restaurant to the other side of a small valley. The suspension bridge will be 28 metres above the ground and people who are afraid of height will be able to cross the valley by the bridge on the ground.

What surprised me most was the fact that this bridge will be the highest in Europe.

In my opinion it's great that Badgastein will have the highest suspension bridge becaus this will boom many tourists.
