MOST
EXTREME
STAIRS 2!
Here's A Look At Some Super Scary Stairs. Enjoy! :)
Tijuca Peak, Rio De Janeiro
They put new carpet on - Why this one?
Buren Mountain, Belgium
This is not a real mountain. It is located in the city of Liege and has 374
stone stairs. The staircase was built in 1881 but the handrails were added
later. It was first built to allow soldiers to have access to the city center.
Watch that last, um, step.
Bridge staircase in Switzerland
It's over one of the deep gorges at the Via Mala. Engineers solved the problem
of connecting two different heights of this gorge by creating a hanging, ladder
bridge. This staircase replaces a rope bridge for travelers to get across the
river because the old one was destroyed by a landslide. This new pedestrian
bridge covers a distance of 56 meters in height with a vertical drop of 22
meters between the two slopes. Quite an engineering feat, but a little scary
to cross when it's windy.
Stairs of Death at Machu Picchu, Peru
Huntington Place Convention Center,
Detroit, Michigan
Moses Bridge, Nederland
In the early 17th century, Fort de Ruver was surrounded by a moat and was
originally built without a bridge, which was added later. But during a
restoration program centuries later, it necessitated the construction of a
new bridge. The original sunken bridge literally merged with the water line,
so the new construction became an almost invisible bridge from a distance,
with a staircase down to a partially submerged walkway.
Slipping and Sliding Away!

Clock Tower in Schlossberg, Austria
The main attraction in Schlossberg is the Clock Tower. People climb to the top
to enjoy the incredible views of the surrounding area. This impressive
staircase carved into the rock leads to the top of the hill where the clock
tower is located. 260 steps to climb is not considered difficult by locals, but
anyone can use the elevator 'lift' instead. Beautiful, but challenging.

Who Thought This Was Safe?
Safer To Slide Down The Banister!
Stairs Santorini in Greece
In 1715 the island residents built a steep staircase on the hillside so they
could get from the sea to the summit and back. They had to use donkeys to
help carry cargo and passengers from ships up to the city. In 1930, the
stairs were improved, but donkeys were still the most reliable carriers.
Finally, in 1979, a ropeway was installed to automate the process, but for
tourists, the most interesting and safest trip to the top, is still the donkeys.
There are a total of 657 carved, stone steps to climb to the large town on the top.
Aguas Calientes, Peru
Potemkin Stairs in Odessa, Ukraine
It's the formal entrance into the city from the sea and the most famous
symbol of Odessa. It was originally known as the ladder Richelieu. The
top step is 12.5 meters wide, and the lowest step widens to 21.7 meters.
Huangshan Mountain, China.
Nice of them to have hand holds.
Who's Got A Harness?
Last one up is a Monkey's Uncle!
- Only a monkey could get down from here!
