Wow, This Stairway To Nothingness On A Cliff Edge Seems Fun

Nope, nope, nope, and nope. For some remarkable reason, this stairway to nothingness totally exists and it was probably built to separate the weak from the brave. We probably fall in that first category – sorry, but no thanks.

Found on the edge of the Dachstein Glacier resort in the Austrian Alps, brave visitors have the opportunity to venture down 14 man-made steps to overlook the beautiful Austrian landscape.

You can experience the breathtaking sensation of sheer weightlessness while gazing over the vast mountainous region, suspended by a small metal staircase – and just a tip? Don’t look down.

The staircase ends with a small square viewing spot which, of course, has a glass floor so you can have a perfect panoramic view of the 400 metre fall below you. Just try your best not to think about the whole falling to your untimely demise though – it won’t bode well for you.

In the lead up to the staircase, there’s also another battle to be won – this 100-metre long bridge across the mountain. The suspension bridge, which took over six months to build, was opened in 2013 and sits at the highest point in Austria.
