Koblenz cable car, Urban aerial tramway in Koblenz, Germany
The Koblenz cable car system extends 890 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the city center with the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress at 112 meters elevation.
The cable car began operations in 2010 as part of the Bundesgartenschau horticultural exhibition, marking a new chapter in the city's transportation development.
The aerial lift provides direct access to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, a centuries-old military structure that now houses museums and cultural exhibitions.
