CLOSED down for 14 years after five tourists plunged to their deaths, the Caminito del Rey (The King’s Little Pathway) was deemed simply too dangerous to venture to.

But now, the terrifying path in Spain that is 100 metres up has reopened, and a lot of adventurous souls are rushing at the chance to brave it.

The 3km-long pathway, which is never more than a metre wide, opened in 1905 to allow workers to reach two hydroelectic power plants nearby.

Over the years, whole sections of the walkway disappeared, and it became known as the scariest path in the world.

In the past decade, the local government has poured $3.36 million into fixing the Caminito del Rey, fencing off much of it. It now also includes safety lines and steel bolts.

According to local media, 30,000 tourists have already snapped up tickets to walk the plank.

But it’s still terrifying!
