Le Funi – In Freiburg’s Unterstadt

The “Funiculaire” in Freiburg is listed in the inventory of national heritage sites. This train is unique in Europe, for its operation is based on the city’s sewerage, which is used as a counter weight. The grinding and rattling of the hundred-year-old cogwheels is worth a detour. These noises accompany the visitor to the depth of the city’s soul: The “Funiculair” has remained to this day the link between the Unterstadt and Freiburg’s center…between history and modern life… a true symbol.
