Elka Cableway, Aerial lift in Silesian Park, Chorzów, Poland.
The Elka cableway stretches across Silesian Park with both open four-person chairs and closed gondolas carrying eight passengers at different heights.
The original cableway, inaugurated in 1967, extended 5539 meters making it the longest lowland cable system throughout Europe at that time.
The cableway provides transportation between multiple recreational facilities including the Silesian Stadium, Legendia Amusement Park, and Silesian Planetarium.
The lift operates daily except Mondays, with speeds varying between 0.5 to 5 meters per second, completing a round trip in approximately 40 minutes.
The system combines both chairlift seats and enclosed gondolas on the same line, making it the only such installation in Poland.
