Freight aerial wire ropeway Černý důl-Kunčice

Last industrial ropeway in operation in Czech republic, over 8km long, connects limestone quarry at Černý Důl ("Black Valley") with lime works at Kunčice nad Labem. It began to work at 1963 and it's end is slowly approaching, because the deposit is being depleted. But it is still operational and stretched over the county at this time, skyline carriages clatter over track overpasses and ridges of Krkonoše foothills, pass roads and houses over protected bridgings and jump from rope to rope at stretching stations.
