Verzasca Dam, Switzerland
High up on the bucket list of most adrenalin junkies, this jump is certainly not for the faint hearted. The hydroelectric dam offers a pure and unique 720 foot freefall down its apex towards the reservoir it forms, Lago di Vogorno. It was even featured in the James Bond film Golden Eye, confirming its status as one of the top 5 highest and most daring bungee jumps in the world.
Zvikovské podhradí Bridge, Prague
You may have already visited Prague’s Charles Bridge, one of the city’s most popular tourist sights, but travel about an hour outside of the city to find a bridge located high over the Vltava valley with a different appeal. Unlike the Charles Bridge, the Zvikovské podhradí is one you from which you can experience the intense adrenalin rush of falling through mid air on a rope. The Zvikov Bridge is the highest bridge in the Czech Republic, surrounded by beautiful nature it makes for the perfect day trip with a difference!

Danube Tower, Austria
For an extreme experience, take a bungee jump off the tallest free-standing structure that Austria has to offer. This is the dream of many bungee enthusiasts, providing a spectacular panoramic view of Vienna as you stand on the edge of the 8-meter long steel ramp with 80 km of viewing distance. The pre-jump jitters won’t have to last too long either thanks to the high-speed elevators which take only 35 seconds to transport passengers to the tower's platform!
