Turmbergbahn, Funicular railway in Durlach district, Karlsruhe, Germany.
The Turmbergbahn spans 315 meters in length and climbs 100 meters in elevation, reaching a maximum incline of 36.2 percent on its route.
Established in 1888, the railway initially operated using water ballast technology until its conversion to electric power during a complete modernization in 1966.
The railway connects visitors to numerous walking trails and outdoor recreational spaces at the summit of Turmberg, a central gathering point for local activities.
Two passenger cars transport up to 52 people each along the single track with a passing loop, completing the journey in approximately three minutes.
From the summit station, passengers can view the Rhine Valley, Palatinate forest, and sections of Alsace across the French border on clear days.
