Taubensteinbahn, Cable car in Schliersee, Germany

The Taubensteinbahn is a cable car that carries passengers from the valley town of Schliersee up to the Taubensteinkopf mountain peak. The upper station sits at roughly 1693 meters elevation and provides access to multiple hiking trails and viewpoints across the Bavarian Pre-Alps.

The Taubensteinbahn was built in 1971 by the Cologne firm Pohlig-Heckel-Bleichert Vereinigte Maschinenfabriken AG (PHB) as a small-cabin monocable gondola lift with four-seat cabins. It runs 2,485 metres up to just below the 1,692-metre Taubenstein summit, climbing 520 metres over 19 pylons, with the drive in the top station. Since 2015 it has operated in summer only; the operator is Alpenbahnen Spitzingsee GmbH.

The lift is run by Alpenbahnen Spitzingsee GmbH, and its valley station lies in the Spitzingsee area above Schliersee. Since 2015 it has operated only in summer, so the ride up to the Taubenstein is a warm-season outing for hikers heading onto the trails below the 1692 m summit.

The cable car typically runs from spring through early autumn and is accessible by public transportation. The nearby train station has connections to local bus lines that go directly to the lower station.
