The Niesenbahn is certainly one of my Top 5 funiculars!

The greatest difference of levels in the world: 1644 meters.

Quite 3,5 kilometers long in two sections. One of the most beautiful panoramic vue at a top station of the Niesen (2336 m): lake of Thun, Interlaken and all the biggest summits of the Berner Oberland (Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, etc).
