Hiking
The MerkurBergbahn runs daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. to the Merkur summit, which is 370 meters higher. The track length is 1,192 meters, and the journey time is 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.
