🇩🇪 Wuppertal’s Floating Tram: A 123-Year-Old Time Machine

✨ "Glide above rivers and rooftops in the world’s oldest suspended monorail!" ✨ 🚟 Why It’s Magic Opened in 1901 and still the city’s lifeline 13.3km track dangling over the Wupper River Feels like flying: Especially in the rear carriage (hold on for the "rollercoaster" dip!) 📸 Best Photo Spots 1️⃣ Oberbarmen Station: Catch the tram curving like a silver dragon 2️⃣ Vohwinkel Terminus: Vintage vibes + retro train displays 3️⃣ City Center Stretch: Perfect river-reflection shots 🐘 Wild History Alert In 1950, circus elephant Tuffi jumped out mid-ride—plunged 10m into the river and lived! (Look for the memorial plaque at Alter Markt station.) 🎫 Ticket Hacks Single ride: €3.60 (but must validate in orange machines!) 24-hour pass: €8.80 = Unlimited sky rides Pro tip: Buy via VRR app to skip stamping 🌉 Night Ride Bonus After dark, the tram becomes a glowing neon worm—surreal! #WuppertalSchwebebahn #GermanEngineering #TimeTravelTransport
