The Reisszug (also spelt Reißzug or Reiszug) is a private cable railway providing goods access to the Hohensalzburg Castle at Salzburg in Austria.
The Reisszug should not be confused with the Festungsbahn, a funicular that provides public access to the Hohensalzburg Castle, and which dates from 1892.
It then rises up at a gradient of 65% to the central courtyard of the fortress, on its way passing through five concentric defensive walls.
At the point where the line passes through each wall is a gateway, each of which can be closed by a sturdy wooden door.
The presence and obvious age of the gateways serves to confirm Cardinal Lang's description of the line.
