The Festungsbahn is a funicular railway providing public access to the Hohensalzburg Castle at Salzburg in Austria. It links the castle with Festungsgasse, under the north side of the castle walls. The Festungsbahn opened in 1892, and should not be confused with the much older Reisszug funicular that provides goods access to the castle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Der Reiszug - Part 1 - Presentation )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Festungsbahn )〕 The line is operated by Salzburg AG, who also operate the city's buses and the Salzburger Lokalbahn. ==History== The Festungsbahn opened in 1892 as a water balance funicular operated by the ''Salzburger Eisenbahn- und Tramwaygesellschaft''. Previously used as barracks, the line made the castle available to a broader range of visitors. The line was rebuilt with new cars and an electric drive in 1960, whilst the lower and upper stations were rebuilt in 1975 and 1976 respectively. In 1991 the line was again modernised, with the provision of new cars with an increased passenger capacity and a faster line speed.〔〔 Between January and April of 2011, the funicular was again modernized, at a cost of €4 million. Two new vehicles were provided and the electrical equipment replaced. Panoramic windows offer a better view of the city.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Festungsbahn (Salzburg)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
