Sheer Drops, Hairpins, Tunnels, & A Bridge Made of String…

At 8 a.m., a rap on the door shot us out of slumber straight into the day we were dreading.

“It’s fine,” Mark had assured me when he showed me the Sedlo Pass on Google Earth. “It’s narrow, but it’s paved, and it has passing places.” 

It looked okay to me, and I trusted his judgement, even though the website Dangerous Roads warned, “Do not rely on signage to tell if the road is passable.” The write up also mentioned, “multiple high points with massive drop offs,” cautioned it was “not suitable for bigger vehicles”, and concluded with, “Due to its dangerousness, this road will be bypassed in the future by a motorway.” I tried to ignore the, “unlit tunnels.”
