The Heidelberg funicular railroads are among the city's most popular attractions.
Every year, more than two million passengers use the traditional funicular railroads and enjoy the beautiful view of Heidelberg and the Neckar Valley during the ride and at the individual stations. From the King’s Seat, you can even look far across the Rhine plain to the Palatinate Wine Route.
The lower cable car, one of the most modern cable cars in Germany, starts at Kornmarkt in the old town and travels via the Castle station to Molkenkur. From there, one of the oldest electrically operated mountain railroads continues to the King’s Chair, the highest point in the city, at an altitude of over 550 meters.
