Ubicado en el Sendero de Zuheros.
Puente colgante de maromas de acero y piso de tablones de madera.
Salva un paso aéreo del sendero.
Su arranque se encuentra en el paso entre dos peñas, la del norte es muy afilada.

"El tramo norte del sendero transita por la parte posterior del Castillo de Zuheros, una imponente fortaleza de origen medieval que corona el paisaje del pueblo. Este camino finaliza cerca del río Bailón y es aquí donde se encuentra la joya del parque: una impresionante pasarela colgante que parece desafiar la gravedad. Este puente, con un suelo de madera que se balancea levemente al paso de los viandantes, avanza por la base de la roca sobre la que se asienta el castillo, ofreciendo una experiencia única para los visitantes.

Las vistas desde este punto son inigualables, permitiendo contemplar tanto la estructura de la fortaleza como el entorno natural que la rodea. Sin embargo, el elevado tránsito que ha experimentado puente a lo largo de los años afectó a su estructura.
Es por ello que en 2019, el puente fue sometido a una importante obra de acondicionamiento debido al desgaste de sus tablas de madera, provocado por el flujo continuo de personas. Estos trabajos de mantenimiento aseguraron su estabilidad y seguridad, garantizando que siga siendo un punto clave para el turismo local.

El tramo sur, por su parte, limita con el recinto de Iberfauna Subbética, un espacio dedicado a la conservación de la fauna autóctona. Desde esta parte del parque, los visitantes pueden disfrutar de unas vistas panorámicas poco habituales de Zuheros, que muestran una cara menos conocida del pueblo y su paisaje".

Located on the Zuheros Trail.
Suspension bridge with steel ropes and a wooden plank floor.
It spans an aerial section of the trail.
It begins at the pass between two rocks, the northern one being very sharp.

"The northern section of the trail runs along the back of Zuheros Castle, an imposing medieval fortress that crowns the town's landscape. This path ends near the Bailón River and it is here that the jewel of the park is found: an impressive hanging walkway that seems to defy gravity. This bridge, with a wooden floor that sways slightly as pedestrians walk, runs along the base of the rock on which the castle sits, offering a unique experience for visitors.

The views from this point are unrivalled, allowing you to contemplate both the structure of the fortress and the natural environment that surrounds it. However, the high traffic that the bridge has experienced over the years affected its structure.
This is why in 2019, the bridge underwent major refurbishment work due to the wear and tear of its wooden planks, caused by the continuous flow of people. These maintenance works ensured its stability and safety, guaranteeing that it remains a key point for local tourism.

The southern section, for its part, borders the Iberfauna Subbética enclosure, a space dedicated to the conservation of native fauna. From this part of the park, visitors can enjoy rare panoramic views of Zuheros, which show a lesser-known side of the town and its landscape."
