Grottenbahn am Pöstlingberg, Dragon-themed railway ride in Pöstlingberg, Austria
The Grottenbahn railway circles through a fortress tower, where illuminated niches display scenes from dwarf kingdoms and fairy tale landscapes.
The Electric Tower Railway opened in 1906 within Fortress Tower II, following the acquisition of Fort Pöstlingberg by the Linz-Urfahr Tramway Company in 1897.
The miniature replica of Linz's main square, built at a 1:7 scale, represents the city's appearance during the year 1900 with detailed architectural elements.
The railway operates from March to November, with adult tickets priced at 6.40 euros and children's tickets at 3.80 euros, including two rounds of the dragon train.
The 82-meter track runs on a one-meter gauge system, powered by 60-volt electricity, transporting visitors through the fortress in a dragon-shaped vehicle named Lenzibald.
