El Caminito del Rey (English: The King's little pathway) is a walkway or via ferrata, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in the district of Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to Camino del Rey. In 1901 it became obvious that workers at the hydroelectric power plants at Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide for transport of materials, and for the inspection and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway took four years and it was finished in 1905.

If you’ve got a fear of heights this video will give you quite a few puckers. And not the kind you kiss with.

[Mr. K]

I can’t even watch the video!

[colorado tanker]

No thanks!

Try walking in North Philly at night...

[soycd]

Safer than most inner cities.

That’s awesome! The crumbling cement is the only thing that’s really scary, and they have cables for the timid.

I love the fact they still leave it open for the public. That would never happen in our nanny state!

Watched the whole thing, awesome. I caught your thread about the aquarium too. At first I thought, it wasn’t so bad then I saw the holes in the walkway and him walking along the pipes. Also noticed placed where there was handrailing now gone. OOps. I appreciate the effort of the fellow who made this so the rest of us could see something really spectacular.

I watched 2 seconds. I have a very severe fear of heights.

That video is old. A new walkway has been built over the old one and it has become a major tourist attraction that is tame enough for children to walk. I personally went there in May and the scariest thing about it was the heat.

Here is a link to their new website where you can book tickets: http://www.caminitodelrey.info/en/

I had the good fortune in attempting to jog that trail but it ended after the video started........

Nope nope nope nope and nope

Just had the EMT’s remove my undershorts from my nether regions with the Jaws Of Life. Thanks a lot.

[Sgt_Schultze]

That's a perilous ride. Check out this video of some fun crazy Russians are into. Talk about slamming the keister shut.

[IronJack]

I’m gonna have to say a big Nay on that one ...

[NorthMountain]

The old one makes me think of the ancient mountain trails in Lord of the Rings, only worse. Crumbling crappy concrete hung off the cliff by rusting steel pipes? Yikes!

The new one might be fun.

[Travis McGee]

Click bait there. It’s been out for years all over youtube.

They called it the world’s most dangerous hike because at least 5 people died there but 3 of those deaths had nothing to do with the path. 3 friends decided the trail was too tame for them so they rigged up a zipline across the gorge and sailed off into eternity when it broke.
