Weekday mornings, right at opening time, when the mist is still low and the sun rises through the valley. Between October and November, the golden autumn tones contrast with the gray limestone.

Greiti faktai: Stretching 11.8 kilometers, the cable car ride here climbs nearly 1,300 vertical meters in 28 minutes, making it one of the longest and steepest aerial tramways on Earth. At the summit, a 60-meter-long glass walkway juts out over a sheer 1,430-meter cliff, giving you a stomach-flipping view straight down to the valley floor.
Akcentai: Carved through the limestone by natural forces over 300 million years, a 131.5-meter-wide archway pierces through the mountain, and on clear days you can watch clouds pour through the opening like a slow-motion waterfall. Local folklore says 999 steps lead up to the arch, and climbing every single one is believed to bring good fortune to those who make the trek.
Vidiniai patarimai
- Wear non-slip sneakers, as the 999-step staircase is wet and slippery for most of the year
- Go at the first time in the morning to catch the glass trail nearly empty, since after 10am long lines form
- Bring a windbreaker even in summer, as the temperature at the top is usually 10°C lower than at the base
- The 326-meter glass elevator saves about two hours of walking, but the line can reach 90 minutes in the middle of the day
