Kharkiv cableway, Aerial lift in Gorky Park, Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The Kharkiv cableway is a transport system that links two areas of the city's parks using two-person cabins. The route passes through green spaces and offers views across different parts of the urban landscape.
The system was built in the early 1970s as a modern solution for moving people between park areas. It has continued to provide this service consistently across the decades.
The cableway has long been a favorite destination for families and local residents seeking a different perspective on the city. It links two major green spaces that remain central to how people spend their leisure time.
The journey lasts about 18 minutes and reaches heights between 26 and 85 feet (8 to 26 meters). Visitors should check opening times in advance since the facility may be closed on certain weekdays.
The system operates hundreds of individual cabins that together move a large flow of passengers daily. Despite its considerable length, it remains a low-altitude experience compared to mountain cable cars, offering instead a gentle ride through the city's green spaces.
