Facts and practical information

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 the village of 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. ()
