The 12 Scariest Roads In The World That Will Leave You In Awe

If you’ve been driving for long, there’s a small chance you haven’t encountered bad roads. Road hazards and accidents can mar an otherwise eventful journey. While poor roads can cause plenty of damage, you can’t rule out the contribution of drunken folks and human error of judgment in causing accidents. Here’s a list of the world’s most dangerous roads.

Grossglockner High Alpine Road, Austria: The spectacular views of Grossglockner mountain in Austria used to be only accessible to skilled alpinists, but since the opening of Grossglockner High Alpine Road in 1935, more and more visitors have been able to experience the stunning scenery. But driving this road is an experience on its own: a thrilling one for some, an especially scary one for others. The highest mountain pass road in Austria, the road connects Bruck in the state of Salzburg with Heiligenblut in Carinthia. Humans have actually been crossing the Alps on a path that mainly follows this road for more than 3,500 years—Celts, Romans, gold diggers and galley slaves had to go through this strenuous and dangerous path.
