ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Funicular

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a train that goes up a really steep mountain? A funicular is kinda like that, but it goes up and down a hill or steep slope, like a rollercoaster.

Instead of running on tracks like a train, the funicular is a type of cable car that rides up and down a cable that is attached to the hill. One car goes up while the other goes down, and they balance each other out so they don't fall off the cable.

The funicular is great for people who want to get to the top of a steep hill without having to climb a lot of steps or walk up a steep path. It's also really fun to ride in and see the view from the top of the hill. Just remember to hold on tight and enjoy the ride!
