The story of the cable car

The original cable car opened in 1959 and was destroyed during the war. After 26 years, a new cable car reopened in 2018, bringing locals back to their favourite mountain.

From the top you can walk to the graffiti-covered bobsleigh track from the 1984 Winter Olympics, now a strange and photogenic forest path.
