Merkur Funicular Railway

Great ! We were so lucky to get up the mountain right on the Sunset ☀️✨ really recommend this beautiful road !

A lovely scenic ride up the mountain with the reward of a cafe at the top. The toilets and the railway cars were clean and tidy. There was an option of a one way ride up and walk down. When up there you had the tower to climb up and there were lots of pathways to walk as well as various seating areas. The views were great.

A nice funicular (railway cable-car) leading to a lovely mountain top with amazing view and nice spots for a picnic. Theres ride takes a few minutes. The tower at the top offers stairs or an elevator (however even with an elevator there are a few steps to climb). There’s also a restaurant there.

An absolute must. We walked from central Baden Baden to the station which was initially very steep. It then levels out. (Regular buses & lots of car parking). The view and walking trails are great. The cafe is reasonably priced. Naturally we scoffed a Black forest gateau which was excellent.

Very accessible by public transportation. The railway itself is amazing, and the view of the Black Forest from the top is stunning. An absolute recommendation!

Completely self service, from ticketing to riding. 8.5 euros for a round trip adult ticket. On the day I went, it was foggy, but still a fun experience.
