Zagreb Funicular

Zagreb Funicular

The Zagreb Funicular ( _hr. Zagrebačka uspinjača) is the funicular in Zagreb operated by ZET, connecting the Ilica street (Lower Town) with Strossmayerovo šetalište (Strossmayer promenade) to the north (Upper Town).

The funicular was built in 1890 and has been in operation since April 23, 1893. It has two cars for 28 passengers each. It runs on 1200 mm gauge rails, track length is only 66 m, but height difference is 30.5 m and inclination 52%. This makes it one of the shortest, but also one of the steepest funiculars in the world. It runs at a speed of 1.5 m/s, needing 55 seconds to cross the distance.
