Hiking

The cable car railway was constructed in 1895 and carried visitors over a mile up the mountain to a luxury hotel. At the time of construction it was the longest and tallest cable car railway in the country, but it was shut down in 1903 and later used as scrap metal in WWI.

The highlight is the mountain and the view. You can take the Old Cable Railway with you. 😉
