These are the Deadliest Tourist Attractions on Earth

One wrong turn or a navigation slip can cause you and your passengers to fly 2,500 feet to your deaths off the side of this mountain. Fortunately, drivers who do brave this path are required to take specific tests and get a special license to be allowed to do so. Bikers, on the other hand, are free to proceed at their own risk. 

Trolltunga

Troolltunga is a super famous cliff in Norway that has been the source of more deaths than any other naturally occurring cliff on Earth. Trolltunga or “Troll’s Tongue” dangles its visitors 2,600 feet off the ground, and while you can find some of the best views in the world up there, people who seek to capture the best Instagram moments should be warned.
