"Furnicular, old and new one" Top 5 Page for this destination Heidelberg Transportation Tip by christine.j

Most people only take the furnicular up to the first stop, the castle. A few years ago, the trains were modernized and can now hold up to 130 people.
If you want to take the furnicular all the way up to the top of the mountain, the Königstuhl, you have to change trains at the Molkenkur stop.
From there, it's still the old train, which only holds up to 40 people. So you may to wait a while at the Molkenkur.If you're in a hurry, ask before you buy your ticket, as it can take as long as one hour, depending on how many people are waiting in line. There is nothing to do while waiting, you just stand stand in line.
But it's worth the wait! This is a really old train, climbing up the very steep mountain. If you're sitting in the last car, turn back and enjoy the view across Heidelberg and the Neckar.
