Hiking
The comfortable way to get to Merkur is to hike up. It's nicer.

Hiking
The MerkurBergbahn funicular runs daily from 10 am to 10 pm to the Merkur summit, which is 370 meters higher. The track length is 1,192 meters, and the journey takes just under 5 minutes.
Since its comprehensive renovation in 2002, the MerkurBergbahn has been one of the steepest and also one of the most modern funiculars in Germany.
