7. In a village near Jaipur Abaneri is unusual ancient well Chand Baori. The building was built in the year 800, and consists of 13 spans from 3500 narrow steps. This area is very dry, so the builders gave the well shaped to maximally preserve precious moisture. At the bottom of the well temperature is always about five or six degrees below, so the locals would often come here to rest during the heat wave.

8. To facilitate the way from the coast to the city and back to the people of the island of Santorini in 1715 built a steep staircase directly in sheer hillside. Because of the terrain has turned the whole length of the stairs of 1300 meters. To overcome such a long way under the force was not to everyone, so people usually use donkeys to lift cargo and passengers. In 1979 he was installed rope ladder, but many tourists prefer, as before climbing the picturesque hill sitting on a donkey

9. From all points of the Austrian city of Graz visible ancient tower Schlossberg. Staircase leads to it an impressive size, carved directly into the rock column. 260 stair steps to overcome the strength to almost everyone, but anyone can take advantage of, and a lift. Before the tourists climb to the top of the mountain, an unforgettable view of the city.

11. Celestial Haiku Stairs is set on the Hawaiian island of Oahu in 1942.

Restoration of stairs in 2003 cost the local authorities to 875,000 dollars. But for visitors to this facility has remained closed.
