Predigtstuhl Cable Car, Historic aerial tramway in Bad Reichenhall, Germany.
Predigtstuhl Cable Car is an aerial tramway in Bad Reichenhall that spans 2,380 meters and connects two stations at different elevations. The system uses cabins to transport visitors between the valley and mountain areas.
The system opened in 1928 and involved specialists from different manufacturers who supplied parts from various German regions. It became protected as a cultural monument shortly after beginning operations.
The cable car embodies engineering and architectural style from 1920s Germany. It shows how people of that era brought technology and landscape together.
The ride takes about eight minutes and brings visitors to hiking trails and a restaurant at the mountain top. Sturdy shoes are recommended if you plan to explore the area once you arrive at the upper station.
The cable car keeps its original machinery and metal components from 1928 even as it continues regular use. These original parts make it a rare example of early engineering still doing the job it was built for.
