The narrowest, most inclined and the most confusing. These are some of the strangest roads in the world – good luck to those who go.
If you think the Portuguese are experts in making strange, tight or steep roads, it’s because you’ve never seen these iconic pathways.
Meet three of the roads with more curves and countercourse – or just a good deal of adventure.
Atlantic Ocean Road
The most famous of the 8 bridges of the Atlantic Ocean Road It’s like walking a roller coaster: it’s at your own risk, and you should only pray so there is no traffic on the climb.
According to the Atlantic Road, eight kilometers long, connects the cities of Kristansund and Molde. It is known for the climbs and the wonderful landscapes.
Túnel de Guoliang
A 1.2 km tunnel? In Portugal there is larger (see the example of the Marão tunnel). But this tunnel near the Taihang mountains in China is very peculiar. It is made within the rocks themselves, And it was made to cut the way to the villages in the middle of the mountain.
The result is a very dangerous road, closely monitored by a cliff. Only the adventurers pass there (but even buses have place). A advice: check the GPS well. Otherwise, it will be complicated to reversing the direction of march.
Lombard Street
A true zigzag. This is Lombard Street in San Francisco, USA. This street is actually done in this form to protect who passes there.
The BBC explains that the road initially had a scary 27%-and zigzags were created to reduce natural inclination to 16%. Still, tourists do not resist there passing to photograph this iconic street.
