On the ascent from the banks of the Lahn River to Malberg, there is a point where hikers cross the tracks of the former cog railway on a bridge. Even today, one can still appreciate how steep this section is, and cannot help but admire the engineering skills of bygone times that planned and implemented the safe ascent and descent.

The abandoned route conveys a special atmosphere. Slightly scary, especially in the leafless seasons 😏👍It's kind of a shame that the train doesn't run anymore.

Beautiful view of the Malberg funicular. Nice view of the old funicular carriage and rails.
