Aleksotas Funicular Railway — Attraction in Kaunas

Neįprasta konstrukcija, dešimtmečių istorija, išskirtinumas, originalumas, puikus įkomponavimas į šiuolaikinio miesto ritmą, atrakcija - štai tiek keliais žodžiais trumpai apibūdinti Kaune esantį Aleksoto funikulierių. Tai tikras technikos paminklas. Šis veteranas nenori jokio poilsio ir toliau džiugina Kauno miesto svečius ir netgi mieste gyvenančius žmones, nes pasirodo kad nemaža dalis žmonių juo vyksta kasdien į darbą - iš darbo; į mokslo įstaigas - iš jų. Šaunu. Padėka visiems specialistams ir darbininkams kurie kažkada jį pastatė ir kurie jį prižiūri dabar. Šalia funikulieriaus pastatyta laiptų konstrukcija, kuri randasi visai netoli jo. Galite į Aleksoto kalną užkilti funikulieriumi, o po to palengva pasivaikščiojant nulipti šiais laiptais. Judėjimas sveikata. Ant laiptų labai originaliai sumontuoti geležiniai takeliai skirti varytis pavyzdžiui dviratį. Unusual construction, decades of history, exclusivity, originality, perfect integration into the rhythm of the modern city, attraction - these are the words to briefly describe the Aleksot cable car in Kaunas. It is a real technical monument. This veteran does not want any rest and continues to please the guests of the city of Kaunas and even the people living in the city, because it turns out that a significant number of people use it to go to work - from work; to scientific institutions - from them. It's cool. Thanks to all the specialists and workers who once built it and who maintain it now. A staircase structure is built next to the cable car, which is very close to it. You can take the cable car up to Mount Alexot and then take a leisurely walk down these stairs. Movement is health. On the stairs, very originally installed iron tracks are designed to drive a bicycle,...

The Funicular ride is a great experience. The trailer itself is authentically designed, everything is clean wood. Although the ride is short, the efficiency is very important, as it is from a low point to the top of the hill, to people with no vehicle and anyone who has difficulty climbing stairs, it is worthwhile. Arrive at the summit and there awaits an incredible view of Kaunas, especially the old town, an impressive new observation platform. It is important to preserve the symbols of the place, both as a tourist attraction and as a service...

Pretty cool transport up the very steep hill. €1 each way and the stairs down are easy enough. At the top theres an observation deck where you can see out over the city. There are a number of statues at the top. The only gripe is that you have to wait until the time of the next movement the person on board that you pay waits until exactly the time tabled second before radioing up for the carraige to move so you can be sitting waiting to move for 10 minutes. Was nice...
