Cableways
Height - someone loves her, and someone - is afraid. First appeared in the 1920s, cable cars have become a great way to see the incredible views. Although the lift is considered the safest "modern" way of movement, there have been cases of unpleasant accidents with fatal consequences, including in cases of natural disasters. One feeling that you are traveling in a carriage, suspended on a cable, is already unforgettable, and a ride on the cable car through the darkness or fog - a real attraction with all the elements of a horror film!
