Is ‘The Plank Walk’ on China’s Mount Hua (2,154m) the scariest hiking trail in the world?

On it, you’ll walk across planks of wood bolted to the side of the mountain. So, while views along the route might be spectacular, there’s a good chance you won’t be enjoying them all that much…

Click below to watch adventurer Pedro Nascimento’s experience of the ‘The Plank Walk’. And if you’re inspired to have a go yourself, the best time to visit the scariest hiking trail in the world is between April and October. It only costs around £25, too – a real snip for a true bucket-list activity.
