The Elinor incense gondola, a true masterpiece of Erzgebirge craftsmanship, brings the nostalgic charm of the Fichtelberg cable car directly into your living room. This elegant model, crafted from robust, high-quality powder-coated metal, immediately catches the eye with its vibrant red color and precise replica of the legendary cabins. The designers created the Elinor as an exclusive anniversary edition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Fichtelberg cable car (1924–2024). The delicate cut-out design of the number “100” on the front is particularly captivating, as it glows atmospherically when in use and gently diffuses the spicy fragrance throughout the room.
Inside, an innovative holder for your incense cones is concealed. The cone burns upside down, guaranteeing an even burn and fully releasing the aroma. The integrated ash tray reliably collects the ash, making handling especially convenient.
The true secret of this edition lies in its authentic numbering, sure to delight collectors. While the Elinor proudly bears the number 1, the Maria model represents cabin number 2. Together, they form the perfect pair for recreating the original cable car operation in your décor. The names tell a personal story: Elinor honors the wife of the first operations manager, while Maria commemorates the wife of the then-ruling Saxon prince. Apart from the embossed number, both gondolas are visually identical.
With the Elinor, you own a genuine piece of German engineering history. The Fichtelberg cable car has proudly held the title of Germany’s oldest cable car since 1924 and is the landmark of Oberwiesenthal. As Germany’s highest town, it whisks its gondolas 1,175 meters up to the summit. This decorative accessory combines the cozy warmth of the Ore Mountains with fascinating engineering.
