Starý Smokovec–Hrebienok funicular, Mountain funicular in Starý Smokovec, Slovakia.

The funicular railway stretches across 1,937 meters through the High Tatras mountains, connecting Starý Smokovec village with the Hrebienok recreational area.

Established in 1908, the funicular underwent substantial renovations in 1967, increasing passenger capacity from 45 to 130 people per car.
