Versuchsseilbahn Batschuns, Aerial lift in Zwischenwasser, Austria.
The Versuchsseilbahn Batschuns connects a lower station at 683 meters altitude with an upper station at 825 meters through a cable system spanning 450 meters.
Karl Peter constructed this experimental aerial lift in 1947 to demonstrate the possibility of operating a reversible cable car system without constant personnel supervision.
The facility influenced Austrian transportation development when Minister Karl Waldbrunner granted the first authorization for automated cable cars based on this installation.
The lower station has been converted into a residential building while the upper station in Suldis contains remaining technical components from the original installation.
This experimental aerial lift achieved a height difference of 142 meters and led to the implementation of automated systems at the Lech-Oberlech mountain railway.
