4€ for a one way ticket is rather expensive for this experience, views from the top were nice but…read morethere's not much else to do there... But as a historical sight this certainly has its value, it's an engineering masterpiece for sure. I highly recommend visiting Wuppertal where you can enjoy almost the system (horizontal though) for much, much longer! The Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Wuppertaler Schwebebahn) was designed by the same guy (Eugen Langen) as this one and is in my humble opinion the best public transportation system in the world.

Anyway eventually the guy came out and started selling tickets and everyone was able to get one.

Maybe it's because…read moreit was thunderstorming outside, but there's literally nothing in this tiny little train station. I don't remember seeing many food options, the waiting space is very tiny. It's also organized really weirdly--there is a top layer and a lower level which I think it a little odd and unnecessary. Not really a fan, but it does its job right... as a bus station, and you can actually see a timetable of the buses that are coming and going so that's good.
