German artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth created this place out of zinc and steel left over from local mining operations and its main purpose is to exist as an unusual venue to view the gorgeous German countryside around it.

While a little disappointing that physics don’t allow for passage around the loop, you can still work off that amusement park lunch at the speed of a turtle on a structure that represents the speed of a tiger.

With 249 steps making up the walkway and LED lights so that the climb can be appreciated after dark, this twisted metal track offers a great view during day or night.
