About Millennium Cross & Vodno cable car
The Millennium Cross, 66 metres tall, was completed in 2002 on Krstovar, the summit of Mount Vodno, at 1,066 metres. A cable car climbs to it from Sredno Vodno, which you can reach by city bus or taxi; it usually closes on Mondays and in strong wind or for maintenance, so check before you go. Hikers can walk up in about two hours.
