Kölner Seilbahn – Germany
Those lovely cabins will take you across the river and bridge to the local zoo. The history of the Cologne cable car, also known as the Kölner-Seilbahn, is marked by its origin as a temporary attraction for the 1957 Federal Garden Exhibition in Cologne.
Initially built as a four-seat cable car to connect the Rhinepark with the Cologne Zoo, it became the first cable car in Germany to cross a river. Over the years, it underwent several changes, including a 250-meter extension in 1966. The Kölner-Seilbahn features a cable car route with a length of approximately 930
Meters, connecting two stations, namely, Station Rhinepark and Station Zoo. The cable cars travel at a speed of 2.8 meters per second, completing a one-way trip in approximately six minutes. With a distance of 51 meters between cable cars, the system operates with three
Support columns, with the highest column reaching a height of 50 meters. In total, there are 44 cable cars, each designed to accommodate four passengers.
