Très belle images, empreintes de poésie.
J’ai tout de mĂŞme un petit pincement au coeur en pensant au funi rouge… Mais il faut vivre avec son temps et ce nouveau funiculaire est rĂ©ellement une rĂ©ussite.
Bonsoir Michel,
Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique reportage et tes très belles photos qui mettent vraiment en valeur ce superbe funiculaire futuriste.
Bonne continuations.
RĂ©my
Jean-Pierre> Merci pour le commentaire. De la poĂ©sie? Ah oui?… si tu le dis…
Je suis d’accord avec toi, le nouveau Hungerburgbahn m’a fait une très bonne impression… une très grande rĂ©ussite!
RĂ©my> Merci pour tes commentaires, ravi que les photos te plaisent !
Wow! You must have climbed around quit a bit (and/or you have got a very strong tele objective?)
My favorite is No. 32. The characteristic track alignment can be seen here very good.
Michel, you did a good PR-Job for the funicular with this slide show. Nordpark should pay a consultants fee to you for this great advertising!
That´s my opinion as an “Innsbrucker”
Martin> Hello Martin… nice to read you appreciated the picts!
I still have the same excellent lens: the Nikkor 18-200 mm AF-S VR DX

At Innsbruck I used a Nikon D70 with this lens.
Today I still use the same lens but on a new Nikon D90…
There’s another funicular in Innsbruck which you can see from the Hungerburgbahn. It’s the small single car line that takes you from the entrance to the bottom of the skijump at Bergisel. The best thing is that you work it yourself, a bit like a lift. It’s about 300 metres long (at a guess). From the top of the skijump you get good view of the whole city and the Hungerburgbahn. Innsbruck also has some excellent tramways, especially the trip up to Igls.
Stop off at the fantastic Alpenzoo station on the Hungerburgbahn and visit the zoo. It’s superb.
Yes Steve you are right!
If you have good binoculars, you can see a third funicular from the Hungerburg… it is the Axamer Lizum funicular (Olympiabahn)!
