— -- At more than 1,400 feet, it claims to be the longest suspension footbridge in the world.

Combine that with a height of almost 680 feet off the ground, and visitors are in for one terrifying walk.

Oh, and there's a bungee jump in the middle!

Russia's recently-opened SkyBridge stretches above the Krasnaya Polyana valley.

Americans know the area as Sochi, host city of the most recent Winter Olympics.

There's no age or weight requirement for walking the bridge. It's built to "withstand a 9-magnitude earthquake, hurricane wind, rain, snow and ice at one time," according to its web site.

It can take up to 30,000 people at a time.
