The 50th anniversary of the cable car in Budapest was marked by the release of a postage stamp

In Hungary, a stamp dedicated to the chairlift "Zugligeti Libego", which is 1 km long, has been issued. It shows part of the road in the landscape, and also shows the year of opening (1970) and the name of the road. The nominal value is 540 forints. The size of one copy is 30x40 mm. The brand was launched on may 11, and the design was developed by glória Hefelle.

The cable car connects the zugligeti district and the jános mountain. The idea was born in 1933, but after preparatory work, the implementation of the project was frozen due to the Second world war. In 1945, there was a Grand idea to build an entire system, including seven routes, but the idea was not implemented. It was only in 1968 that the business got off the ground, and a year later construction started. Even in the early years, the cable car brought a significant profit. Within ten years, 4.5 million passengers used the lift. The cable car attracts tourists – during the trip, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city.
