Funikulaarijärjestelmät

Funikulaarijärvi is a small, artificial lake located in the district of Alppila in Helsinki, Finland. Its name, which translates to "Funicular Lake," derives from its proximity to the former Alppila funicular, a cable railway that operated in the area from 1912 to 1971. The lake was created as part of the urban development and landscaping of the Alppipuisto park. It serves as a decorative water feature within the park and is a popular spot for local residents and visitors. The surrounding area is characterized by greenery and recreational paths. During warmer months, the lake can attract waterfowl. Funikulaarijärvi is a tranquil element within the bustling city, offering a natural respite. Its existence is a reminder of the area's historical transportation infrastructure, now reimagined as a public green space. The lake's dimensions are modest, contributing to its intimate feel. Maintenance of the lake and its surroundings is managed by the city of Helsinki.
