  • 7. Funiculaire Fribourg Fribourg
    A funicular is one of the modes of transportation which uses a cable traction for movement on steep inclined slopes.A funicular railway employs a pair of passenger vehicles which are pulled on a slope by the same cable which loops over a pulley wheel at the upper end of a track. The vehicles are permanently attached to the ends of the cable and counterbalance each other. They move synchronously: while one vehicle is ascending the other one is descending the track. These particularities distinguish funiculars from other types of cable railways. For example, a funicular is distinguished from an inclined elevator by the presence of two vehicles which counterbalance each other.The name funicular itself is derived from the Latin word funiculus, the diminutive of funis, which translates as rope.
