Quick efficient and surprisely enjoyable great views of the Volga and NIzhny NOvograd was lucky that I went on a clear day so was a benefit would be lovely on summer day
Мой друг, с которым мы ездили в Н.Н. в ходе поездки неоднозначно намекал что поехал только ради этой канатной дороги) Поэтому после осмотра всех остальных достопримечательностей мы отправились в путь до этой канатки из последних сил (путь кстати оказался от кремля не особо близкий). Постояв в очереди всего минут 50 мы сели на эту канатку и обнаружили что из Бора вернуться на ней не сможем - по пути все деньги что мы брали с собой из хостела закончились. Пришлось из Бора добираться на автобусе до хостела. Ну а вид открывается с неё вполне впечатляющий.
Well I read the reviews and I walked and walked along the embankment and around the building site to get there.In all honesty it is ok but no better than that. Maybe if you have not been on a cable car it would add to the excitement but in my opinion it is not the best thing in this very pretty city.The windows are scratched and this spoils the view a wee bit.There is a silver Lenin at the other side.
On a sunny day, we had to wait for 1,5 hours to get in the 15 minute cable ride. The view from the cable cars are good fun, crossing the river and giving a nice perspective on the city itself.
Well worth the trip on the relatively new cable car across the Volga. Great views across and down the river. However, not much to see or do at the other side of the river in a place called Bor. Look out for the stunning monastery on the Nizhniy side of the river on the way back
Great if you need to travel, much quicker than car. We tried it just for a ride, but I can see if you need to get across the river it is so quick
Есть с чем сравнить, и с Красноярской канатной дорогой и с европейской. Чистые кабинки, прекрасный вид.Но стоит ехать в теплое время года.Стоимость около 80 рублей за человека. Невозможно купить билет в обе стороны, пришлось 2 раза стоять в очереди. На противоположной стороне склон, где дети катаются с горки, ну и мы пару раз прокатились) так же есть несколько палаточек, где можно купить сока или сосиску в тесте.
The cable car of Nizhny is a way of transportation to cross Volga river and it saves time instead of getting bridge in the rush hours, but don't be surprised as you will be in a long queue to get into it, on the other side it could be considered as an attraction to enjoy for tourists, I've enjoyed it twice, the view from this height is incredible where you can have a full view of the river and Nizhny city, the round trip my take about 40 minutes, it worth the time and money.
Always wanted to try to go on one in UK, but happenned to be in Nizhniy !!! A short cut used by people to go from Nizhniy Novgorod to Bor. 15 minutes one way and you are in a different town instead of over an hour on the busy traffic road. The viw is incredible, just like in a helicopter, cheap too...great experience.
Cable way is in my native city, sometimes we ride it with our children or friends. Although, most passengers ride it not for sight-seeing but for reaching town Bor on the other side of Volga river :)Now you don't have to wait a long time, cabins depart from station every several minutes. "Trip" takes near 20 min to one side. It's like slow plane flight before landing, but without the motor noice... You have beautiful views (great river and other - hills, monastery and embankment at one side, fields and small lakes at the other side). At Bor side there are some caffees near station.Fee is near $2 for one direction.
