Connecting the Anton-Neumayr-Platz to the the Museum der Moderne on the Monchsberg, this lift was built in the 19th century. At that time, it’s 60 metre height made it the highest lift in the world, which instantly also made it a tourist attraction. Thanks to the museum’s location on top of the hill, over 1.3 million people use the lift every year. The old lift was an exterior structure, but the one used today rises through a tunnel in the rock. It’s not a long ascent - only 60 metres still, lasting only 30 seconds. There’s not much else to do here.
