Lanová dráha Větruše, Aerial lift in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic.

Lanová dráha Větruše is a cable car system in northern Bohemia that connects the city center of Ústí nad Labem to an elevated area. It travels upward over the urban landscape, carrying passengers between the downtown level and facilities located on the hilltop.

A cable car to Větruše was first considered after 2000, initially for the Ústí nad Labem zoo, and the site was fixed after the chateau's 2005 repair. A 2008 zoning permit was annulled after landowners appealed, so a second, support-free route from the Forum shopping centre was designed by Atelier Chlup and approved in May 2009. Construction began in March 2010 and trial service started on 7 December 2010.

The upper station sits by the Větruše chateau, repaired in 2005, which is why the line was routed here rather than to the zoo. The lift is line 901 in the city transport contract, yet it has its own fare: a single ticket cost 15 Kč at opening and 40 Kč in 2026, with children under 6 and ZTP cardholders riding free. Its first náčelník was Václav Müller.

The lower station sits in the round tower of the Forum shopping centre, the upper one beside the Větruše chateau; both are step-free. Cars run every 15 minutes all year, daily 9:00–20:00, and weekends May–September 8:00–22:00, with no service on the first Monday of each month for maintenance. Standard city tickets are not valid; buy the cable car ticket separately.

The cable car offers views of the Elbe River valley and the city below during the ride. This perspective from the hilltop reveals how the city sits within the river landscape in a way that ground-level views cannot show.
