Hiking

The cable car runs every 20 minutes from about 9 o'clock. Driving time about 3 minutes. The clock can be reduced to up to 9 trips per hour, depending on the number of passengers. The mountain station is at 382 meters, the track is 536 meters long and has a slope of 28.2%. The cars have a curb weight of 7.8 tonnes and carry a comfortable 11km / h maximum 75 people.
The track is also called "Erbschleicher-Express" :-)

Hiking

The cable car from Heslach to the Waldfriedhof is a must-see for tourists in Stuttgart. Its nickname is the "Erbschleicherexpress". Not particularly flattering, but it reflects the subtle sense of humor of the Stuttgart Swabians.

Hiking

The funicular railway, or as the Stuttgarter affectionately calls it, Erbschleicherexpress, leads from Heslach (valley station) to the Waldfriedhof (mountain station). There are no intermediate stations.
