"The FestungsBahn is the funicular that takes you up to the fortress. The path up is long and steep, so if you’re not very fit, you might need to take several breaks or opt for the funicular. The cost is around €15 per person, which includes admission to the entire fortress. If you only want to pay for the funicular ride to enjoy the views at the top, you’ll need to wait until the fortress is closed. "
