What I find particularly nice: The first "gondola" of the cable car, which by the way was put into operation in 1954, were those of the legendary national exhibition or "Landi" from 1939. It's even better to go up and down! https://www.teddy-b.ch/tipp-der-woche/luftseilbahn-adliswil-felsenegg-danke-landi/

A single journey currently costs CHF 4.40. There is also a hiking trail right next to/under the railway. However, this is relatively steep and takes a little longer. The cable car ride took about five minutes.
