Merkur Funicular Railway

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.

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

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.

Superb view from the top! If you are lucky you’ll see some paragliders take off from the cliff. The frequency of the mountain train is really good.

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!

A wonderful funicular at the edge of town. Well worth finding. €14 for a return trip for two adults was very good value compared to other funicular railways we have been on.
