- Shihan 7y agoNice, looks good. This reminds me on this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Louis-Arzviller_inclined_plane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Louis-Arzviller_inclined... - but it is not as good looking.

I am glad they decided not to tear down the old one (from 1934) but built the new one right beside it over the last years.
