In 1901 it became necessary to connect the districts of Oberloschwitz and Loschwitz. To resolve this issue, not far from the famous Blue Wonder (the Blue Miracle bridge) designed a modern engineering structure for that time - – suspension railway. Line with two trailers 274 meters long, mounted on 33 poles, is still one of the types of public transport in Dresden. The cars are attached to each other by a cable, which is driven by an electric motor. The cars are moving along the road at a speed of 2. 5 meters per second. The Dresden cable car miraculously did not suffer during the Great Patriotic War. Moving along Blue Wonder is very pleasant, as its path leads through a picturesque area. Inside the upper station, there is a small exhibition of old photographs and several models telling about the history of this road and others like it in other cities of the world. Another nice feature of Schwebebahn Dresden is that from the upper station, right in the palm of your hand, a panoramic view of the whole of Dresden opens.
