We Rode Germany's 125-Year-Old Hanging Train!

We came to Wuppertal, Germany for one thing: to ride their world famous hanging railway! Admittedly, this was a city we'd barely heard of before discovering its incredible suspension railway or Schwebebahn. Built in 1901, this engineering marvel has been carrying passengers above the Wupper River for more than a century, and we were lucky enough to visit during its 125th anniversary celebration. But we quickly realized Wuppertal is much more than its famous railway. We uncovered the unbelievable true story of Tuffi the elephant (yes, an elephant really did fall from the railway into the river), learned about Friedrich Engels and his connection to one of history's most influential political works, sampled the region's famous Bergische waffles, climbed through the city's endless staircases, enjoyed a tasty schnitzel and German beer, and found one of the best panoramic views overlooking the Wupper Valley. By the end of the day, we couldn't help but wonder why more people don't visit this fascinating city. Sometimes the places you've never considered become the ones you remember most. And we ended the evening with a rock concert in a neighboring city! We'd also like to give a huge thank you to Fitnexa for sponsoring this vlog!
