Nerobergbahn in Wiesbaden: Record number of students and new heights!
Wiesbaden's Nerobergbahn, a historic jewel of the city, set a new record last year, transporting 315,285 passengers. This impressive number not only shows the popularity of the train, but also how much Wiesbaden residents and tourists alike value the unique experience that this train offers.
The Nerobergbahn was opened in 1888 and has been a landmark of Wiesbaden ever since. The route is 438 meters long and uses a special technology: the cars are filled with water ballast, which makes them heavier than their counterparts in the valley. The heavier cars pull the lighter ones upwards when driving uphill. A real interplay of physics and technology that many passengers are unaware of while enjoying the scenic views.
Winter break and tickets
Despite the great popularity, the Nerobergbahn is currently on winter break until April 3rd. If you miss the view or the drive during this time, you will have to be patient. Tickets can be purchased at the train stations; Please note that RMV tickets and the Deutschland Ticket are not valid. There is a small advantage for dog owners: dogs can be taken along for free, which makes the trip particularly attractive for animal lovers.
The train is operated by Eswe Verkehr, the municipal bus company. The company not only ensures safe transport, but also contributes to preserving the tradition of this historic railway. It will be exciting to see how many passengers the train will attract in the coming year.
For many, a ride on the Nerobergbahn is not just a way from A to B, but an experience that strengthens the connection to the beautiful nature and history of Wiesbaden. Whether for a view of the city or just to enjoy the nostalgic feeling of this tradition, the Nerobergbahn continues to be very popular.
