Interlaken - Top of Europe

A recent trip with the kids to the Top of Europe - the Jungfraujoch -

3,454 m (11,333 ft). From the blue-green glacial Aare river running

through Interlaken, it's a series of three cog railways and 2 1/2 hours

of continuous climbing to reach the top of the Jungfrau. 

This is

Europe's highest-altitude railway, in service since 1912. From the

summit, one can see the Vosges Mountains in France and the Black Forest

of southern Germany. 

 At the summit, not only

are there spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, but also,

carved into the glacier, is a fantastic ice palace to explore.

The Aletsch Glacier, at 22 km, is the longest ice

stream in the Alps, and it begins on the Jungfraujoch. Imagine how

small a world it is to have bumped into friends of ours during a change

of trains at one of the stations on the way up!
