Dresden Suspension Railway - Schwebebahn Dresden

This is the strangest means of transport I've ever taken !
Actually, I hadn't plan to visit it during my stay in Dresden till I found a leaflet in the city transport office.
My curiosity was definitely aroused by a strange picture representing the carriages of the Dresden suspension railway running beneath a kind of gigantic skeleton made of steel...
What exactly was that « machine » half cable car, half funicular ?
I really had to find out all about it !
I rushed out the city transport office and jumped onto the first tramway to the Loschwitz district.
After crossing the magnificent "Blaues Wunder (blue wonder)" iron bridge on foot and a short walk later, I was standing in front of the lower station.
And trust me : I didn't regret what I discovered !
