Wendelstein Cable Car, Aerial tramway in Bayrischzell Osterhofen, Germany.
Wendelstein Cable Car is an aerial tramway in Bayrischzell that carries visitors from the valley floor up the mountainside in a single uninterrupted journey. The route takes passengers over steep terrain with open views across the Bavarian landscape throughout the ride.
The cable car opened in 1970 and provided a modern alternative to the existing cog railway that had served the mountain before. This system introduced new transportation technology to mountain travel in the region.
The cable car enables access to mountain activities throughout the year, connecting visitors to numerous hiking trails and winter sports areas.
The ride is relatively short, so visitors should plan for any wait time at the valley and summit stations. Bring proper footwear if you plan to hike or explore the mountain once you arrive at the top.
The system uses a single tall support tower instead of multiple pylons, which gives it a distinctive visual character. At one point during the ride, the cable spans an extremely wide gap above the ground with nothing underneath.
