Pöstlingbergbahn, Mountain tramway in Linz, Austria
The Pöstlingbergbahn connects the main square of Linz to the Pöstlingberg district through a steep electric railway system covering the northern section.
The railway commenced operations in 1898 from Urfahr terminal station, later extending its service to central Linz in 2009 through network modifications.
The railway provides access to multiple attractions including the Linz Zoo, which houses 600 animals, and a pilgrimage basilica from the 1740s.
Tickets for the Pöstlingbergbahn are available at vending machines, the LINZ AG LINIEN-Infocenter, Tourist Information offices, and selected tobacconist shops.
The railway maintains an 11.6 percent grade throughout its route, positioning it among the most inclined adhesion railways in operation worldwide.
