The Gelmer Funicular in Switzerland !!



The Gelmer Funicular is a funicular railway in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. It links a lower terminus at Handegg, in the Haslital (the valley of the upper Aar River), with an upper terminus at the Gelmersee lake.
The Gelmerbahn was the steepest funicular in Switzerland and Europe, until the opening of the new Stoos Funicular in 2017. The Handegg terminus of the line is close to the road over the Grimsel Pass. It is accessible by car and by an infrequent PostBus service.


People seeking a thrill will find one here in the Haslital valley on the Bernese side of the Grimsel Pass. A monstrous climb of maximum 106 percent indisputably makes the Gelmerbahn the steepest open funicular railway in Europe.

The Gelmer funicular, with its 106 % gradient, is the steepest open funicular of Europe. It takes you up to the picturesque Lake Gelmer at 1850 m, from where you can undertake numerous hikes and mountaineering tours, or just enjoy the stunning alpine scenery.
You can reach the bottom station of the Gelmber funicular easily by car or by postbus (stop: Handegg, Gelmerbahn). The station is located just off the Grimsel pass road in Handegg.

A totally new mobile wireless storage media server

CNET reports on Wireless Plus: "a vastly improved product... Double storage, longer battery life, and better Internet/data sharing."     The new Seagate Wireless Plus comes included with a USB 3.0 adapter and a separate charger for use with a wall socket. (Credit: Dong Ngo/CNET) LAS VEGAS--Seagate announced today at CES 2013 the Seagate Wireless Plus, a brand-new mobile wireless storage expander/media-streaming server for mobile devices. The Seagate Wireless Plus is the replacement of the first device of its type, the Seagate Satellite that debuted a year and a half ago. Seagate doesn't want to call the new device the second generation of the Satellite, however, because the new name also means a vastly improved product. I had a chance to check it out in the last couple of days and found that the new Seagate Wireless Plus indeed is a new device, though it shares the same concept as its predecessor. Double storage, longer battery life, and better
