Mountain railway & Elbe ferries:

cable railway
The Loschwitz mountain railways are particularly attractive. Since 1895, the 547-meter-long Loschwitz funicular has been connecting the Weißer Hirsch district 95 meters higher. The suspension cable car has been running from Loschwitz to Oberloschwitz since 1901. Two passenger cars each hang on a 256-meter-long support rail and are moved by a rope at a height of 84 meters. The valley stations of the mountain railways are located at Körnerplatz. Both only need five minutes to overcome the height difference of the Elbe slope. The funicular runs from Körnerplatz (Mon-Fri 6.30 a.m.-9 p.m., Sat / Sun 9 a.m.-11 p.m.) to the Weißen Hirsch and from the Pillnitzer Landstraße (Mon-Fri 6.30 a.m.-7 p.m., Sat / Sun until 9 p.m.) the suspension railway to Oberloschwitz .
