Outdoor Elevator: GRAIN ELEVATOR, a building or complex of buildings equipped for handling and storing grain. The term "grain elevator" is sometimes used to denote only the automatic equipment used for handling the grain. Grain elevators are used primarily for storing wheat and corn. They came into extensive use shortly after the middle of the 19th century and now are common sights at railroad junctions throughout grain producing areas, grain markets, major lake ports and seaports, and grain milling ( flour) centers.
You mount to the Winkler by one of three elevators which were originally ordered for a building in Zagreb but made their way here instead. (Hill gossip calls one of them Hitler's former Eagle Nest elevator, but it definitely isn't.) The other hilltop place is the Festung (Fortress) Restaurant, on top of the dramatic hill called Hohensalzburg, towering above the old town. It has its smart indoor rooms and also scores of:ables set out on the terrace clear to the walled edge of a perpendicular allaway. Hohensalzburg is served by a water-powered elevator—except vhen this freezes up in winter. Both the Winkler and the Fortress Restau-•ant have views of overpowering impact, but the Festung has much longer ifternoon sun than does its rival.
Gondolen (The Gondola) is a "hanging restaurant" at Slussen between Old Stockholm and South Stockholm, its anchor on that end being the top of the Kooperativa Building. You ascend ten stories by an outdoor elevator above the city's heaviest traffic circle and have your meal up aloft, almost as in a plane. Prices are by no means as high as the restaurant.
Restaurant Mosebacke, on high ground in South Stockholm, has a splendid view of the wide-spreading city and its salt waterways.
BdckaJidsten (The Brook Horse, in reference to a loved legend) and Branda Tomten (The Burned Site), both very centrally located, are a bit queer in the head, with golden angels, full-rigged ships, canopied pulpits and hundreds of ill-assorted Ornaments crowded into every inch of space. They're worth seeing, though, and prices are moderate. |
