Kreuzeckbahn

The Kreuzeckbahn funicular system transports visitors from Kolbnitz valley to Mount Kreuzeck, reaching an elevation of 1,200 meters above sea level through the mountainous terrain.

Constructed in the region where mining activities for gold and silver once flourished, the funicular now serves as a modern transportation link in the Hohe Tauern National Park.

The funicular connects travelers to numerous alpine walking paths where local traditions of mountain hiking and nature appreciation continue through generations.

Operating throughout the year, the funicular provides access to winter skiing zones and summer hiking trails, with connection points to the Roßwiese reservoir station.

The funicular system integrates with two local hydroelectric power plants, Kraftwerk Kolbnitz and Kraftwerk Rottau, which utilize water from surrounding mountain reservoirs.
