Dangerous tourist attractions: These are the five deadliest places on the planet
The Troll’s Tongue is one of Norway’s most dangerous attractions
5. Trolltunga
The Troll’s Tongue is one of Norway’s most dangerous attractions.
Elevated almost 800m high, the natural structure takes about 10 hours to reach on foot.
An Australian woman plunged to her death just last year after losing her balance on the notorious jutting rock.
4. Running of the Bulls
Held every year in Spain, this event sees six bulls released onto the streets, to roam freely for some 825m.
About 100 people get injured annually at the deadly festival.
Over 15 deaths have been recorded since the tradition began.

Dangerous tourist attractions: Mount Hua Shan has one of the most deadly walkways in the world
3. Mount Hua Shan
One of the most dangerous hiking spots in the world, this mountain is flanked by narrow wooden planks which wind their way around the cliff face.
The planks sometimes fall away, hurtling towards the earth, forcing climbers to simply let go and dangle in their harness.
2. El Caminito Del Ray
Spain’s notorious walkway is one of the most dangerous on the planet.
Just a metre wide, the rickety path links two cliffs that sit about 200m apart and tower 100m high.
The walkway has been neglected over the years and its poor state forced officials to close it off from tourists.
But daredevils still chance it, which has resulted in at least four deaths.
There are plans for the infamous walkway to reopen this summer.
1. Death Road
Stretching more than 69km, this deadly road winds through Bolivia.
It’s riddled with risk, including a severe susceptibility to mudslides.
The road also has no side rails to protect drivers, bike riders and trekkers from the 600m drop.
Hundreds of people have died on the treacherous Death Road but it continues to attract thrill seeking tourists every year.
