World’s longest rope bridge will soon be inaugurated in Hungary – photos

The inauguration of the world’s longest rope bridge is a matter of great anticipation. Now, new pictures have been taken, showing the bridge of National Unity.

Near Sátoraljaújhely, the 700-metre-long rope bridge will connect Szár Hill and Vár Hill, held aloft by six steel cables. This landmark structure will put Hungary in the Guinness World Records.

A few kilometres from the Slovakian border in eastern Hungary, the bridge that weighs hundreds of tonnes is being built as a tourist attraction. It will undoubtedly be a challenge for tourists who are afraid of heights to cross the bridge, but it is reassuring that the bridge will be so stable that it will not swing out of place even in high winds. According to VG, the centre of the bridge will be covered with large glass panels, increasing the sense of space.
