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.

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.
