Hiking

The cogwheels on the Merkurbahn are part of the safety brakes on the steep funicular railway in Baden-Baden. They are clearly visible near the valley station – a fascinating view of the technology for hikers and railway enthusiasts.

Hiking

One of the oldest and steepest funicular railways in Germany. Great route - straight up to the Merkur summit.
