Herzogstand Cable Car

The Herzogstand Cable Car was built in 1994 as replacement for a 4,500-foot chair lift through the Bavarian alps. Its two cabins carry passengers from Lake Walchensee to the Fahrenberg mountain on the upper slopes of the Herzogstand mountain. The cableway uses a 43 mm carrying cable and a 21 mm hauling cable. The cable car is driven by a 185 kilowatt engine. The cable way has two supports, which are 28 metres and 24 metres high. The journey time each way is four minutes and the cars reach a top speed of 8 metres per second.
