Visited there last summer and had a wonderful time! The view from inside the Schwebebahn has its moments. There's also a great sculpture garden in Wuppertal!

love it, got friends living there and we go on the monorail often. a more accurate but awkward description of it would be "suspension railway" but whoever says that haha

Do transit nerds like it for anything else than being rare? When I had to take it it was not very pleasant and pretty narrow compared to a normal german tram or subway

That’s awesome. My kid did a year abroad when she was in high school and lived there. It’s called the Schwebebahn: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuppert...
