Feldbergbahn, Aerial lift in Feldberg, Germany.
The Feldbergbahn is a 900-metre small-cabin aerial lift built by Doppelmayr in 1999. It starts at about 1270 m above the B 317 and climbs 175 m to the 1449 m Seebuck, a sub-peak of the Feldberg. In summer it runs 15 cabins for eight people; in winter 57 six-person chairs. A path links the top station to the Feldbergturm.
The Feldbergbahn was built in 1999 by the Austrian manufacturer Doppelmayr as a detachable single-cable circulating lift. In 2009 the 43 mm haul rope was renewed; it runs over 8 pylons, while both the electric drive and the tensioning system sit in the valley station. The lift can run with 57 six-person chairs in winter or 15 eight-person cabins in summer.
The lift serves as a gathering place for winter sports lovers who use it to reach the snowy slopes and cross-country trails that define the local skiing season. It connects people to the outdoor traditions that have shaped life in this mountain region for generations.
