Herzogstand Cable Car, Aerial tramway in Walchensee, Germany.
The Herzogstand Cable Car is an aerial tramway that climbs from Walchensee village up the Fahrenberg mountainside. The ascent takes about four minutes and carries passengers high above the surrounding valleys.
The current cable car system opened in 1994, replacing an earlier lift installation that had served the mountain for decades. This upgrade improved access and passenger comfort significantly.
Residents and visitors of Walchensee integrate the cable car into their outdoor recreation activities, particularly during winter sports and summer hiking seasons.
The cabins hold about 30 passengers per trip and run regularly during the season when weather permits. Arriving early helps you avoid long waits, especially on sunny weekends.
The cable car is supported by two main towers positioned at the top and bottom of the mountain. This suspension design allows the system to handle the constant movement and weight demands with impressive durability.
