The cable car that you pedal by hand
Through the mountains of Slovenia, there are manual cable cars: some historic, some more modern. There aren’t many left. I was able to try one, and to talk to the person who still maintains it.
Just to be clear, there are a few of these in other places in the world, too. There’s at least a couple in North America, one in Germany, and one in Turkey! (Or at least, I think they still exist.) But the video of the Cicka got me to beautiful Slovenia, and the story that I found there was worth the trip.
