Catskill Trail, USA
From series “Best Extreme Places on Earth for Thrill Lovers”Lenght: 40 km.
Not all experienced tourists know that one of the most dangerous places in the world is located in just a couple-hour drive from Manhattan. Here is the small town of Catskill, not far from the mountain massif, which has given the name to one of the most dangerous paths in the world. The length of the trail is a little over 40 km. The path stretches through the incredibly beautiful terrain. The main danger for travelers is not only the complicated ascents in the mountains, but also in the wild animals.
This area is home to the American black bears, whose tracks have been discovered several times on the path. For this reason, the tourists are allowed to travel only in the company of the guide. On the way you have to overcome several obstacles: the steep mountain slopes and the decayed small wooden bridges, the steep descents and the poisonous plants, which you can not even touch.
