Little did I know that Wuppertal had such a fun surprise in store for me.
Wuppertal is the home to a suspension railway referred to as the 'Schwebebahn'. It's basically a 13 km metro system that floates mainly over the 'Wupper' river.
It's said to be the safest and in my opinion also the coolest public transport system in the world.
Let me take you for a ride in the video below ;-)
Tuffi the diving Elephant
There's been one funny incident with an elephant on the Schwebebahn. In 1950 a circus director wanted to promote his circus arriving in town by taking an elephant on board of the Schwebebahn. The baby elephant panicked and jumped out of the Schwebebahn ending up in the river below.
Luckily the elephant survived with some minor injuries and since that day it was called 'Tuffi' which means 'Waterdive' in Italian :-)
