Hungerburgbahn, Funicular railway in Innsbruck, Austria

The Hungerburgbahn connects the city center to the Hungerburg district through a 1500-meter track that includes both underground and surface sections.

The original Hungerburgbahn operated from 1906 to 2005, when it was replaced by the current line that opened on December 1, 2007.

The four stations of Congress, Löwenhaus, Alpenzoo, and Hungerburg reflect architectural elements inspired by natural ice formations of the Alpine region.

The funicular operates daily from early morning until evening, with cars accommodating up to 1,200 passengers per hour between the city and mountain areas.

Each funicular car contains five separate passenger compartments suspended in a common frame to manage the extreme gradient changes along the route.
