Fichtelberg Cable Car, Aerial tramway in Oberwiesenthal, Germany.
The Fichtelberg Cable Car spans 1,175 meters across the Ore Mountains, connecting the town base station at 905 meters to the summit station at 1,208 meters elevation.
Operating since December 1924, this transportation system faced maintenance challenges after World War II and underwent significant renovations in 1956 to restore full functionality.
The cable car serves as a central transportation link in Saxony's winter sports region, enabling access to numerous ski slopes and hiking paths throughout all seasons.
Each cabin accommodates 45 passengers and transports up to 640 people per hour, with regular services running between the town center and the mountain summit.
The system operates on two carrying cables and two hauling cables, allowing efficient movement even at gradients reaching 50 percent across the mountainous terrain.
