Hammetschwandlift: Highest Exterior Elevator in Europe

Back to year September 24, 2006, I remember, hubby and I, with his friends we were in Bürgenstock. The expenses were hubby friends pay this entire trip to Bürgenstock and also the food during lunch break. We were in restaurant Cafè Piazza. They have yummylicious food, it is quiet expensive though but it is worth. It was amazing trip; we were with the ship from Lucerne then going up to Bürgenstock with the old Bürgenstock funicular railway which was opened in 1888 and completely overhauled in 2002 is the oldest electrically operated funicular railway in Switzerland.
Some Hollywood Star like Charley Chaplin, Sean Connery & ect. they been in Bürgerstock, long time ago! When we were there is quiet a little bit foggy but you can still see the beauty of the nature. We visited Hammetschwandlift which is the Highest Exterior Elevator in Europe. It created an absolute sensation when the hotel and railroad pioneer Franz-Josef Bucher-Durrer built the Hammetschwand lift at the Bürgenstock in 1905.
Height of pulpit: 1114, 41 Mü.M

The hotel resort located at 847 meters a.s.l. has been a popular vacation sport since 1872. Its attractiveness was enhanced by the spectacular path along the vertical rock face and by an exterior open lift. To this day the lift and the path have lost none of their attraction.
The new lift was built and opened by the Schindler company. It whisks passengers 153 meters up to the summit of the Hammetschwand in less than one minute. It was regarded as a pioneering feat in those days and is still a record holder, since the Hammetschwand lift is holding the number one position as Europe's highest exterior lift.
