Wurzeralmbahn, Funicular railway in Spital am Pyhrn, Austria.
The Wurzeralmbahn is a funicular railway in Spital am Pyhrn that carries visitors upward into the mountains. The ride connects the valley floor with hiking routes and a recreation lake in the alpine region.
The railway was built to carry locals and visitors more easily to the alpine region. It underwent major modernization in 2020 with new technology throughout the system.
The funicular provides access to the '2 Million Years in 2 Hours' educational trail, where visitors learn about regional geology and natural formations.
The railway runs from June through October and carries you into higher elevations for hiking. Bring sturdy shoes since the mountain terrain can be slippery underfoot.
