For my first birthday here (my 24th, which seems like a very long time ago) some of our then-new friends gave me two tickets to ride the Dresden Schwebebahn, the world's oldest suspension railway. Naturally we procrastinated/forgot until last October, over three years later, when upon our arrival to the base of the Schwebebahn, I discovered I'd left the tickets sitting on the dresser. (Thanks, anyway, Benjamin and Susi. It was still a really thoughtful gift.)
The Schwebebahn climbs 273 meters up the western lip of the ridge that surrounds Dresden.
The ride is really fun.
And the view at the top is amazing.
Come to Dresden and ride the Schwebebahn. The end.
And for future appearances of my black "leather" jacket, please read the
Alpine Line, who's author inherited it over
New Year's.
