Svetlogorsk Beach Gondolas

Svetlogorsk Beach Gondolas
Svetlogorsk, Russian Federation (RU)
The beach gondolas were built in 1912, and originally connected directly to the regional train system through the station Svetlogorsk II and provided easy access to the beach. The 90-m inclined track carried visitors to and from the seashore.

After 1945, the Russians continued operating the beach gondolas after annexing Rauschen and renaming it Svetlogorsk, as well as the rest of the northern half of East Prussia into their new Kaliningrad region.
