Hiking
The Mendelbahn looks a bit unusual, but it's fun to ride with it.

Hiking
One of the longest funicular railways in the world. However, everyone wants to get in the front, so the front seats go very quickly. The second or third row is still interesting, though.

Hiking
The Mendelbahn is a funicular railway and therefore a really not everyday train.
Must be seen and driven in life at least once.
On more than half there is also the possibility to get off and continue hiking on the Kalterer Höhenweg.
