Germany’s 124-Year-Old Upside-Down Train Still Amazes Travelers
Wuppertal’s Schwebebahn, the world’s oldest suspension railway, has run since 1901. The upside-down train hangs from overhead tracks, gliding above streets and the Wupper river. Built to fit the narrow valley, it now carries 80,000 daily passengers. A full 35-minute ride offers scenic views, and a 24-hour ticket costs €8.80.
