Koblenz Cable Car
Seilbahn Koblenz
A river-crossing cable car built for the 2011 Federal Garden Show, about 890 metres long, flying over the river to the fortress on the hilltop.
The lower station is on the Rhine bank near the Deutsches Eck, and the upper station is in front of Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The one-way trip takes about 4 minutes, and some cabins have glass floors. From the cabin you can look down on the confluence of the two rivers and the roofs of the old town. It is the least effortful and most scenic way to reach the fortress. A cable car and fortress combined ticket is available. The cable car stops in strong winds, and it operates on a limited schedule in winter.
