Chairlift Bohosudov - Komáří vížka, Chairlift in Krupka-Bohosudov, Czech Republic

The Chairlift Bohosudov - Komáří vížka is a chairlift in the Ore Mountains of the Czech Republic, linking the village of Bohosudov with the summit of Komáří vížka. The line runs on a single cable with open two-seater chairs that move continuously, carrying passengers from the valley floor to the top without stopping along the way.

A first proposal for a lift to Komáří vížka came from Count Westfalen in 1838; preparations in 1903 and a 1932 ground-cableway project were halted by the world wars. The present chairlift opened on 25 May 1952, was taken over by Czechoslovak State Railways in 1953, and has been operated by Sport Krupka since 1996. It was declared a cultural monument in 2013.

The lift's name comes from Komáří vížka, the summit it serves, and the line has been run by the municipal company Sport Krupka since 1996. In May 2022 the Railway Authority granted it the status of historic cableway, the first in the Czech Republic. It carries 40,000 to 50,000 passengers and 10,000 bicycles a year.

The ride is entirely outdoors and offers no shelter, so dressing for the weather is important before you board. On windy or rainy days the journey can feel particularly exposed, and warmer layers are worth having even in summer.

A stone bell tower dating to 1568 stands at the top station and was originally used to signal shift changes for miners working in the area. Over time it was absorbed into a tavern building and can still be seen there today.
