Schlossbergbahn, Funicular railway on Schlossberg hill, Graz, Austria
The Schlossbergbahn connects Graz city center to Schlossberg hill through a 201-meter track with a steep 61 percent gradient incline.
The railway began operations in 1894 using steam power, then converted to electrical operations in 1899, marking a significant advancement in local transportation.
The funicular received substantial renovations in 2004, adding glass-roofed cars that allow passengers to observe the UNESCO World Heritage city during transit.
The funicular operates from 10 AM until midnight Sunday through Thursday, with extended service until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, at three-euro adult fares.
The railway features an Abt passing loop system where two cars navigate past each other midway, carrying 58 passengers each at three meters per second.
