Technical details

Things to know about the bridge

Take your time before you take your first step on the WILDLINE and enjoy the anticipation. Ahead of you lie 380 metres of bliss, supported by just two pylons and held by two steel cables. The interplay of distinctive architecture and wild nature fascinates not only technology fans. Because the WILDLINE is much more than just a suspension bridge. It is an expression of planning perfection and craftsmanship. And it stands for unconditional trust in human performance. Because you don’t see at the beginning what awaits you at the end. Because the WILDLINE explores the limits of statics. Because you sometimes lose the solid ground under your feet when it sways. But don’t worry. It has to be like that. And after a short time you will find your inner balance again.

58.67
is the height of the bridge above the ground. Depending on the number of people on the bridge.
13
higher than you and the bridge builders are the pylons at the entrance. Assuming an average height of 1.85 m.
380
long is the Wildline. The same length as the Empire State Building (without the top), if you were to place it next to it.
