Alte Hungerburgbahn, Historic funicular railway in Innsbruck, Austria.

The Hungerburgbahn funicular connects the center of Innsbruck to the Hungerburg district, covering a distance of 1.8 kilometers with a 288-meter elevation gain.

The original Hungerburgbahn opened on September 12, 1906, and operated continuously until December 8, 2005, when it was replaced by a modern system.

This transportation system represents a significant engineering achievement in Alpine mobility, connecting residents and visitors to the Nordkette mountain recreational areas.

The funicular operates daily with regular departures from Congress station, providing access to the Alpine Zoo and multiple hiking trails along its route.

The railway system maintains horizontal passenger compartments throughout the journey, despite traversing sections with different incline angles across the mountainside.
