With the cable car over the Isar - this is the plan that the district of Munich is pursuing.
And a second cable car project is in the making, but it is far more utopian.
Munich / Grünwald - Cable car projects are currently in vogue among transport planners.
Whether in Munich * on Frankfurter Ring or in the Dachau district along the A8 motorway - unusual ideas are also pursued to solve traffic problems.

Cable car planning in Munich - from Grünwald to Pullach
At the forefront of such projects is the district of Munich, where the expert Bernd Kollberg carried out a cost-benefit analysis.
Result: A cable car from Grünwald to Pullach would be a project that could be profitable.
Two gondolas would be guided over two supports that cross the Isar and overcome the difference in altitude between Grünwald and Pullach.
The advantage: Grünwald would be connected to the S-Bahn * station of the S 7 Höllriegelskreuth.
Kollberg reckoned with 2300 passengers a day and 30 people in a gondola.
The construction costs are estimated at seven million euros.
Projected travel time: seven minutes.
Utopia project: suspension railway in Taufkirchen and magnetic levitation train in Dachau
A cable car from Munich-Pasing * via Graefelfing, Martinsried and Neuried to the subway station Fürstenried * -West in the south-west of Munich would be less profitable. For the nearly eight kilometers with six stations, 11,400 passengers per working day are estimated. The construction costs, however, are just under 56 million euros. Alternatively, a tram connection along the route should also be checked. Both projects are now being considered in an in-depth study in which the Free State is contributing financially.
Other utopian projects are being pursued in the Munich district: The start-up "Ottobahn" wants to build a test track in Taufkirchen for a self-developed suspension railway on rails.
One day it could lead to Brunnthal.
In the district of Dachau, District Administrator Stefan Löwl is toying with a transport system from the Upper Palatinate construction company Max Bögl - but whether its maglev train will ever be built is literally in the balance.
