千萬不要向下看！世界上最驚險刺激的一條路(組圖/視頻)

　　你確定這條路行得通？冒險發燒友們正在死神的鐮刀下通過一條世界上最危險的道路
　　一隊無畏的登山者正小心翼翼地挪動著通過一條高度超過100米，搖搖欲墜的山路，這條通道被譽為世界上最危險的道路。
　　他們並不孤單。為了趕在道路修復前感受一把，冒險家們已經涌向西班牙南部來體驗這個有110年歷史的 El Caminito Del Rey 。
　　在YouTube上廣泛傳播著一個視頻，是關于一個徒步者征服這條驚險小道的，在這之後，有關公司已經開始提供非官方旅行。Scroll down for video

　　不要向下看！勇敢的登山者正通過一段懸崖，那段快要毀壞的通道已經完全墜落了。

　　在懸崖邊緣︰一個特寫鏡頭展現了這個令人毛骨悚然的道口。因為那段YouTube 視頻，冒險家們都來挑戰這條通道了。

　　你不需要是一個經驗豐富的登山者，唯一的要求是年滿12周歲並有良好的判斷力。
　　這條小徑，也被稱作國王通道，始建于1905年，初衷是為了方便工人在兩座水力發電廠之間往來，但由于兩名行人墜崖身亡，于2000年關閉。
　　小徑沿懸崖迂回上升，通到El Chorro Gorge，離馬拉加30英里。
　　許多一米寬的通道因為生銹而毀壞，有的出現漏洞、缺少扶手，甚至有幾段幾乎全部墜落。
　　一段臨時金屬線固定在岩石表面讓登山者和行人能拉住來提高安全系數——但許多人更喜歡接受不使用安全設備的挑戰。
　　為了讓這條小路更安全和吸引更多旅游者到該地區，政府實施了一項投資達830萬美元的工程。

　　And you don't need to be an experienced climber either, the only requirements are that walkers should be at least twelve years old and have a good head for heights.
　　The trail, also known as the King's Pathway, was originally built in 1905 for workers to travel between two hydroelectric power plants but was closed-off in 2000 after two walkers fell to their deaths.
　　It snakes its way along cliff edges high up in El Chorro Gorge, thirty miles from Malaga.
　　Much of the one-metre-wide walkway is crumbing away with rusting supports, gaping holes, no handrails and sections that have completely fallen down.
　　A makeshift wire has now been attached to the rock face which walkers and climbers can clip themselves on to in order to have some degree of security - but many still prefer not to use any safety equipment at all.
　　Work is now due to start on an 8.3 million project to make the pathway safe again and attract more tourists to the area.

　　History: El Caminito Del Rey, also known as the King's Pathway, was originally built in 1905 for workers to travel between two hydroelectric power plants but was closed-off in 2000 after two walkers fell to their deaths

　　歷史︰El Caminito Del Rey，也被稱為國王通道，初衷是為了方便工人在兩座水力發電廠之間往來，但由于兩名行人墜崖身亡，于2000年關閉。
　　無法進入公園︰道路的最後一段已經塌陷所以行人必須下滑100米來完成這段這段路程。
　　完全修好通道需要3年時間，到那時，這條道路上將會有︰扶手，護欄，路燈和游客中心。
　　上周有一位登山者卻認為︰“修好這條路是個恥辱。”
　　“那會讓它變得太安全而失去那種讓人戰栗的刺激。”
　　“現在我們來這是免費的，但是我確信他們以後會讓我們付費的。”
　　No walk in the park: The final stages of the path have fallen through so walkers must abseil down around 100 metres in order to complete the trail
　　It will take three years to re-construct and will see the pathway completely rebuilt with hand rails, protective barriers, lighting and a visitors centre..
　　One climber on the route last week said: 'It's a shame they're going to fix the path.
　　'It will sanitise it too much and take the thrill out of it.
　　'It's free for us to go on right now but I'm sure they'll make us pay to use it in the future.'

　　破碎之地︰修復這座有110年歷史的公園的計劃預計將于今年晚些時候開始實施
　　Crumbling: Repair work to the 110-year-old park is due to start later this year

　　小心腳下︰這條通道上布滿了數以百計的洞
　　Mind your step: The walkway is riddled with hundreds of holes
