Շվեյցարիայի հարավում` Յերմաթ քաղաքի մերձակայքում, պաշտոնապես բացվել է մոտ 500 մետր երկարությամբ կամուրջը, որն այժմ համաշխարհային նոր ռեկորդ է համարվում՝ դառնալով աշխարհի ամենաերկար կախովի հետիոտնային կամուրջը:

Գրաբենգուֆեր կիրճի վրայով ձգվող, Վալե գավառակում կառուցված կամրջի երկարությունը 494 մետր է, լայնությունը՝ 65 սմ, այն գտնվում է 85 մետր բարձրության վրա: Պարզվում է` կամրջի կառուցման վրա ծախսվել է շուրջ 750.000 դոլար:

Նշվում է, որ կամուրջը կապում է Զերմատ և Գրաեչեն լեռային գյուղերը: Հատկանշանական է, որ կամուրջն այնպես է կառուցվել, որ ընդհանրապես չի ճոճվում: Այստեղից լավ երևում է Մաթերհորն գետը:

Before the construction of the bridge, hikers were forced to make an arduous detour to the valley and back up along the Europaweg trail above Randa - meaning a 1,640ft climb and descent for each section. This was because, in 2010, the previous bridge was closed because of falling rocks and unstable terrain. The new bridge (pictured) is about 650ft below the new one. Its width, however, is a mere two feet The two enormous cables that hold the bridge in the air each have a diameter of two inches and weigh a combined 8 tonnes. The bridge is accessible from Randa in 2 and a half hours. Pictured: An aerial shot that was taken by a drone shows the remarkable scale of the Europabruecke bridgeWhile the suspension bridge is the world's longest for pedestrians, it is puny in comparison the longest suspension bridge for vehicles. Akashi Kaiky¿ Bridge, in Kobe, Japan, is 6,532ft-long. Pictured: The first brave hikers make the crossing earlier today after the Europabruecke bridge was inaugurated Pictured: The huge bridge is seen from the side after being photographed by a drone. An old bridge that once crossed the ravine was damaged by falling rocks in 2010, forcing hikers to take an exhausting detour as a consequence. The Zermatt tourist board, however, gladly announced with the inauguration of the new bridge: 'This will be only a memory'Pictured: Another photograph taken by a drone shows the enormous bridge among the forest below.

It was inaugurated today after being built to replace the old bridge, which was damaged in 2010 by falling rocks The bridge is part of a two-day hiking route between the towns of Zermatt and Grachen. Pictured: Two hikers look at the mountains surrounding the bridge this morning after its inauguration Pictured: The bridge, a record 1,620ft-long, is 278ft at its highest point. It crosses the Grabengufer ravine, an area at the foot of the highest mountain in Switzerland
