Cool exterior elevators

Cool exterior elevators:
The Bailong Elevator is the world’s largest exterior elevator built onto the side of a huge cliff in Zhangjiajie in China.

Moreover, the elevator is mostly glass, affording passengers a dizzying view to the depths below:





The Hammetschwand Lift is the highest exterior elevator of Europe and is located in Switzerland. It brings you 156 meters in the air from a spectacular rock path to the lookout point Hammetschwand on the Bürgenstock plateau overlooking Lake Lucerne:








These kind of exterior lift are sometimes also integrated in buildings like here in the Lacerda building in the city of Salvador in Brazil:





This thing takes you up 72 meters, and at the top you have a great view over the nearby bay.

  1. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation
    but I find this topic to be really something which I
    think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me.

    I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
