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.
