Hot Roads - The World's Most Dangerous Roads

In the extreme north-east of Norway known as the Finnmark region, winters are freezing cold and snowy. Due to the location on the Arctic Ocean, the roads are prone to snow drifts. Every metre is a challenge and a journey into risk. An adventure for all those who set off into the fascinating and unique landscape, through a seemingly endless desert of snow.

It is one of the wildest roads in Asia: the Trans Sulawesi Highway. The adventurous road leads through Indonesia's fourth-largest island and takes people to spectacular destinations.

In the far north-east of Georgia, on the border with Russia, the Abano Pass leads to lofty heights. At almost 3000 metres it is the highest passable road in the Great Caucasus. It winds its way up dizzyingly steep slopes. On wild paths, it leads through a fascinating landscape. It is a voyage of discovery into a mighty mountain world.

Tanzania is known for its national parks, vast landscapes and wild roads. They make traveling a real adventure.

Far out in the "Wild West" of Canada lies Bella Coola. If you want to get to the small town on the Pacific, you have no choice: there is only one road leading there, the Bella Coola Highway.

India's state of Rajasthan is known for its ancient palaces, vast landscapes - and wild transport routes. For thousands of years, dromedaries served as the most important means of transport. Today, India's roads are considered fast-paced, chaotic and unpredictable.
