In the Carpathians there the cable car with a terrible purpose

The new road will carry the coffins.

Most of the villagers rejoice simplified way to the cemetery, but some wary of him.

Dead in the Carpathian Pistyn in the cemetery take a cable car over a deep precipice by the river. The only alternative is wobbly and narrow suspension bridge.

The cemetery is located on the opposite Bank from the village, therefore, deliver the coffins have over 40-meter precipice. The mechanism of the tramway seems simple: the 100-meter line strung between the two banks, is wound onto a drum. It goes “carriage”, which put the coffin. However, due to the fact that the goods are sensitive, the steering wheel is allowed only to those who have successfully completed training.

The cemetery can be reached as well as on foot, but this method the villagers don’t like. The hanging bridge is the only road from the village to the cemetery. Mountaineers say that they are very hard to carry the coffin with the deceased, because the bridge is narrow and heavily staggering. People often got cuts everyday about the metal railing. “When winter, cold, ice – slippery, hard to bear. The road so, as you can see, you can’t pass safely. To masonry was carrying four, and then the two of us. Not fit people and very hard” – say the villagers.

Live on the cable car they are fundamentally not allowed. Explain: this is not entertainment. The exception is ready to do just for journalists. “Tourists want, but we don’t ride them,” – says a resident of the village Pistyn Yuri Gavrilov. Travel over the rim of the journalists refused, despite assurances that none of the coffin with the tramway has not fallen yet.
