The Fichtelberg Suspension railway
A trip to the 1215 m high Fichtelberg with our suspension railway is an experience in every season!
Built in 1924 and therefore the oldest cable car in Germany, it is also the landmark of the town of Kurort Oberwiesenthal. No matter whether summer or winter, the suspension railway brings those seeking relaxation up to the highest mountain in Saxony every day. The suspension railway overcomes an altitude difference of 303 m over a length of 1.175 m from the valley station to the mountain. During the journey you have a wonderful view of the valley and the ski jumps and can enjoy the panorama of Oberwiesenthal to the full.
In 2012 the "old lady" was completely overhauled and since then has been driving up the Fichtelberg every day.
It will be completely refurbished again in spring 2021.
