Description


On the outskirts of the city is the Blue Wonder bridge. From here two funicular railways lead up into the hills above. One is the conventional type, the other hangs from a rail above! At the top of the Schwebebahn (the hanging one), you can visit the machine room where you are shown (in German) the machinery in action, as well as some background history. From the top of the station, there are spectacular views over the whole of the region.

Getting There

From the centre of town take tram 6 or 12 to Schillerplatz, from there cross over the river. The stations are located just on the other side of the bridge. The hanging station is slightly further beyond the regular station
