About
the Funicular
This unique mean of transportation was built in 1935. Authentic traction
equipment, which has functioned for more than seventy years, is still in use
today, including the genuine pre-war wagon, wooden seats, and stop
platforms.
Even today the funicular takes people up the Aleksotas hill, from which the
panorama of the Kaunas city centre and Old town is wide open. Kaunas is the
only city among Baltic States, where such means of transportation is
available.
