Zabali Hanging Bridge — Attraction in Baler

My recent visit to the Zabali Hanging Bridge was a mixed experience. The location offers a breathtaking view, making it a promising destination for nature enthusiasts and photography enthusiasts alike. However, I couldn't help but feel concerned about the safety of the bridge during my visit.

Let's start with the positives: The panoramic view from the Zabali Hanging Bridge is nothing short of spectacular. It provides a unique vantage point to admire the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The lush, verdant landscape, complete with a meandering river and distant hills, is a sight to behold. The bridge's location provides ample opportunities for capturing stunning photographs, which leads me to the highlight of our visit.

We had the privilege of having our pictures taken by a local child who exhibited an impressive talent for panoramic shots. It was evident that this young photographer had an innate understanding of the bridge's best angles and the surrounding landscape. Their ability to compose shots surpassed our own, resulting in a collection of captivating photographs that truly captured the essence of the place.

However, my enthusiasm was tempered by concerns about the bridge's safety. The bridge's structural condition appeared less than reassuring, and the sense of stability while crossing was not entirely comforting. While I understand that hanging bridges can have an element of thrill, this seemed to veer into discomfort and unease. The creaking and swaying of the bridge were disconcerting, and some parts of the walkway showed signs of wear and tear. It's essential for both visitors and local authorities to take safety seriously to ensure a positive experience...

A hanging bridge which is 150 meters long. The idea came from the same bridge in Bohol which is 70 meters long (not very sure on the length). The guide stated that only 20 people can use the bridge at the same time, as overloading would be a repeat of the 2015 incident in which a steel suspension ripped was apart due to 150 people using it at the same time. People with fear of heights can try challenging themselves on this one too! However, the guide also discouraged it for people with hypertension and heart illness. Across the bridge is a set of souvenir shops filled with delicacies, apparel, trinkets and other local products. 😊

Do take care as you also need to muster the same courage since you do have to get back on the other side. And it would be proven difficult if you have friends in front who would intentionally rock the bridge to...

Zabali Hanging Bridge is one of known tourist spots in Baler' its also nice place exciting to passed on the bridge end to end over looking views around the place. However, you need to observe and need extra carefull while passing into the bridge because some of the supporting cables are rusty and deretiorated supports cables, partially wreck and weak wood deck.
