Seilbahn Zugspitze
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Seilbahn Zugspitze is an aerial tramway running from the Eibsee Lake to the top of Zugspitze in Bavaria, Germany. It currently[update] holds the world record for the longest freespan in a cable car at 3,213 metres (10,541 ft)[1] as well as the tallest lattice steel aerial tramway support tower in the world at 127 metres (417 ft).[2] Construction of the system began in 2015 and it opened on 22 December 2017.[3]

This cable car replaced the original Eibsee Cable Car which closed on 2 April 2017 leaving no service for eight and a half months (access to Zugspitze was still possible via the rack railway and the Gletscherbahn Cable Car).[3]
