Tyrolean Zugspitze Cable Car
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tyrolean Zugspitze Cable Car (German: Zugspitzebahn) was the first wire ropeway to open the summit of the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain on the border of Austria. Designed and built by Adolf Bleichert & Co. of Leipzig, Germany, the system was a record-holder for the highest altitude.[citation needed]
