The Herzogstand Cable Car was built in 1994 as replacement for a 1,388.35 m (4,500 feet) chair lift through the Bavarian alps. Its two cabins carry passengers from the Walchensee lake (800 m above NN) to the Fahrenberg mountain (1,600 m above NN). The cableway uses a 43mm (1.7 inches) thick carrying cable and a 21 mm (0.8 inches) thick hauling cable. The cable car is driven by a 185 kilowatt engine. The cable way has two supports, which are 28m (91 feet) and 24 m (78 feet) high. The journey time each way is four minutes and the cars reach a top speed of 8 m/s (18 mph).
