In der Naehe von La Paz gibt es die gefaehrlichste Strasse der Welt. Man startet auf 4200m und faehrt mit dem Fahrrad runter bis auf 1700m. Es ist aber nicht die Hoehendifferenz, die es so gefaerlich macht, sondern das 300m bis 700m tiefe Klippe auf der linken Seite. Eine Rechtskurve zu schnell genommen, die Reifen weggerutscht und dass waere dann der letzte Fehler gewesen. Und der Fuehrer erzaehlt einem auch diverse Horrorstroies von Leuten, die abgestuerzt sind, damit man auch vorsichtig genug ist. An eine Stelle kann man noch die Reste von einem LKW sehen, der ueber die Klippe gefahren ist. Aber unsere gesamte Gruppe hat es heil ueberlebt und ist um eine krasse Erfahrung reicher.
Close to La Paz there is the most dangerous road in the world. You ride it down on a bicycle starting at 4200m down to 1700m. But it is not the hight difference that makes it so dangerous, it is the 300m to 700m sheer drop on the left side. If you take one right turn to fast, you tires slip away and that would have been the very last mistake you made. But the guide tells you loads of horror stories of people that have gone over the edge to make sure everybody is careful enough. At one place you can still see the remains of on lorry that drop down. But our group made it down savly and gained another crazy experience.
