From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fichtelberg Aerial Tramway is the oldest aerial tramway in Germany, leading from the valley station at an altitude of 905 meters above sea level to the mountain station a 1208 meters above sea level at Fichtelberg. The Fichtelbergbahn has a length of 1175 meters and a maximum upward gradient of 37,9 per cent. The Fichtelbergbahn is equipped with two carrying and two hauling cable courses that began operating in December 1924. The Fichtelbergbahn was out of operation from 1948 to 1956 due to technical problems. It was reconstructed in 1984 and the wing units were renewed.
