Eibsee Cable Car

The Eibsee Cable Car, which opened in 1963, is a cable car which connects the lower station near lake Eibsee with the top station at 2,950 metres above sea level next to the summit of Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain on the border to Austria. The cable car was built to provide a faster access to the Zugspitze from its German side, as the cog railway from Garmisch-Partenkirchen does not go directly to the summit and takes much longer.
