The course of the Wuppertal cable car is schematic in the following graphic as represented red way. She almost goes across the valley of the Wupper paralell to the federal railway route. One clicks on one of the stations in the graphic, one can, to the stations, have a look as far as available at photos and look up interesting to the stations and the environment later, too.
