Nihalka Vogel, Aerial tramway in Ukanc, Slovenia
Description
Nihalka Vogel is an aerial tramway that carries passengers from Ukanc village up to a mountain station at approximately 1535 meters elevation. The cable system spans above Lake Bohinj and provides access to high-altitude meadows and hiking trails.
History
The tramway was built to improve access to mountain areas in Triglav National Park, particularly for winter sports enthusiasts. Since then, it has become a standard transportation link for reaching the upper slopes and meadows.
Culture
The lower station reflects traditional Alpine building design with contemporary additions that blend into the mountainous surroundings. Visitors experience how cable car hubs balance heritage craftsmanship with modern travel needs.
Practical
The cable car operates year-round, making regular trips between the lower and upper stations throughout the day. Visitors should bring warm layers since temperatures at the summit are noticeably cooler than at the lakeshore.
