Jungfraujoch, Top of Europe

Jungfrau is the highest mountain in Europe. The technology there is so advance, that they built a railway and have a train that takes you directly up to the mountain, although the height of the mountain is 11782sq ft above sea level. Of course, advance technology doesn’t come free, so we need to pay almost RM200 per person for the less than an hour ride.

 

Due to its height, the mountain was covered with snow even though it was late summer. The weather was not extremely cold, except when the wind blew. It was the first time ever I saw snow, and the memory is still so fresh in my mind. It’s hard to forget the experience of seeing the whole world in white. We were so excited playing with the snow that we totally forgot that we should not be staying out too long, because due to the bright sun and the snowy environment (which makes you feel less hot but actually it was hot), it was very easy to get sunstroke. And before we knew it, most of us had a terrible headache from the sunstroke.

But no matter how much the head hurts; it was still worth it because it was truly a once in a lifetime experience J
