Cape Town: Flying Dutchman Funicular is again operational
Power has been restored and the Flying Dutchman Funicular is back up and running.
The Motsamayi Tourism Group, which manages the facilities at Cape Point in the Cape of Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park in Cape Town, has announced that they are currently experiencing a power failure at Cape Point due to cable theft. This means that the Flying Dutchman Funicular is currently non-operational. We'll keep you posted!
The Flying Dutchman Funicular, also known as Cape Point Furnicular, runs between the Cape Point parking area and the viewing point below the lighthouse. The track is 585m long, and rises 87m from the lower station (at 127m m a.s.l) to the upper station (at 214m m a.s.l). The Flying Dutchman Funicular was the first commercial funicular of its kind in Africa.
