Let's all hang out and do this again: The International Highline Meeting is now a regular event, and will take place again next September
A glorious place for a spot of relaxation on high: This spectacular image gives a hint of what the highliners find so appealing about a day in an elevated hammock
The view up here is smoking: One thrill-seeker shows he is utterly unfazed by his location as he enjoys a cigarette
It was hard work getting here, let's relax: A group of highliners take in the view in blissful peace and quiet
Feeling cosy: This thrillseeker takes matters to even more extreme lengths by opting for a mini hammock that barely holds his frame
All in a row: The event has been taking place since 2012, and - now into its fourth year - attracts a healthy crowd
Sing when you're winning: One daredevil keeps the afternoon going by playing a few tunes on his guitar
Heading for an early exit: The highliner on the right answers the question of how you get back to solid ground - you inch your way back along the wire
Up up and away: The hammocks look especially beautiful when photographed from the ground below
Time for another tune: Spirits - as well as locations - are high among the highliners as the afternoon progresses
A smile for the camera: The dramatic images were captured by photographer Sebastian Wahlhuetter

Now get back up there: Losing your footing results in the inevitable, but a small safety rope stops this high wire enthusiast from plummeting to his death
Easy does it: A female highliner walks the line strung between rocks in the Alps as part of the gathering near Misurina in northern Italy
Walk the line: A dramatic shot from low down shows three of the highliners criss crossing the gorge
Cosy in there? This highliner is so happy to be resting in his snug hammock he's catching 40 winks
All tgether now, heave! Highliners tighten the webbings between rocks so they can continue to try new routes across the gorge
That's fairly high! This shot shows just how far above the ground these thrill seekers are as they nonchalantly walk across the webbings
Then three came along all at once: Highliners chat to each other, strung hundreds of feet above the ground
And so to bed: A huddle of tents forms the makeshift village for a week as the highliners get some well-deserved sleep before another day of
