Chapter 738: The Top of Europe

It took about half an hour for the train to reach the 2,061-metre-high Shajdek Pass, where the east and west railway lines converge and eventually visitors will transfer to the red Jungfrau train to begin the last seven kilometres of the Jungfrau Railway.

After leaving the Petit Shaidek, you will have to walk about 1.5 kilometers to enter the 7,122-meter-long tunnel in the belly of the Moshi Peak, during which you will pass a blue sapphire-like glacial lake, the blue water of the lake and the clouds in the sky, the glacier in the distance and the surrounding green meadows.

When the train arrives at the last stop in the mountain tunnel, which is the Eiger-Gable station, visitors can also get off the train and enjoy the scenery. Because this railway station with an altitude of 2320 is located at the foot of the Eiger in the middle of the three famous peaks, you can enjoy the style of the Eiger at close range.

The train would stop at the Eiger's gable for a short time, and then move on, headlong into the tunnel that traveled entirely in the mountain. There are also two train stations in the tunnel, one is Egger Shibi Station and the other is Binghai Station, and in both stations, the train will stay for about five minutes. During this short stop, visitors can get out of the car and touch the bare rock wall of the tunnel and experience the hardships of this part of the project. At the same time, there is a large glass viewing window inside the station, and when you look out of the viewing window, it is the spectacular Eiger Glacier, which is also the most amazing ice sea view.

Due to the steep slope of this section of the railway, the train will be prompted by English, French, Latin, Russian, Japanese and Chinese, and passengers should try to sit on the chair facing the front of the train when going up the mountain. If you're sitting in a chair with your back to the front of the car, you'll fall forward if you're not careful.

On the descent, of course. This seat will have to be reversed, and when you go down the mountain, you will have to sit on a chair with your back to the front of the train.

When the train arrives at Jungfrau Station at an altitude of 3,454 meters, the journey is considered to have reached the end.

Jungfrau Station is almost entirely carved out of the mountain, and as soon as you get off the train, you can see the big blue and white sign hanging from the wall. The top half of the blue section reads "Jungfrau in English font" in white lettering, and the lower white part reads "TopofEurope" and 3454M/11333ft (feet) in blue lettering.

After Tang Feng got off the train with the excited Sophia, he walked directly in the direction of the sign inside the station to the elevator leading to the famous Sphynx Observation Deck.

The Sphinx Observation Deck is located directly above the railway tunnel leading to the top of the mountain, and construction crews have opened a 110-meter-thick rock formation and installed an elevator inside, which can be reached in just 25 seconds.

"It's beautiful!" Sophia let out an exclamation.

Tang Feng was also shocked by the landscape in front of him.

Today's weather is exceptionally good, so the view is exceptionally clear. Except for the occasional hint of mist between the peaks, the entire Jungfrau neighborhood can be seen clearly.

At 3,571 meters above sea level, the Sphinx viewing platform is the highest viewing platform in Europe. This observation platform is a platform with a 360-degree view, and the silver vault above its head is an observatory.

On most days of the year, the platform is usually covered in fog and strong winds, but today is a rare day of good weather, so stepping on the hollowed-out iron mesh and watching the gravel and snow under your feet is definitely very rewarding! And because the weather today is very good. You can also clearly see the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in Europe, in the distance.

After staying on the Sphinx viewing platform for about twenty minutes, Tang Feng led Sophia back to the rest stop. Here, there is the highest restaurant in Europe, a post office, a cinema and shops.

Since you have come here, it is natural to leave a little memorial. Tang Feng and Sophia went to the small post office with great interest, and sent a few postcards from here to relatives in China and the United States.

This kind of very meaningful little activity makes Sophia very happy.

Sit in that restaurant and grab a bite to eat. Tang Feng and Sophia went to the "Super Ice Palace" located 30 meters below the Aletsch Glacier, which was dug under the Aletsch Glacier, which is a miracle.

After coming out of the Ice Palace, Tang Feng and Sophia wore sunglasses and down jackets. Stroll on the top of the hill outside the station. From here, you can clearly see the main Jungfrau 2 kilometers away, and that majestic peak is the real Jungfrau at an altitude of 4,158 meters. It's a pity that if you want to go to the main Jungfrau peak from here, non-professional mountaineers are generally not allowed to go there.

Although Tang Feng has this ability, but Sophia can't do it, besides, this time I came mainly for fun, if it involves climbing the main peak of Jungfraujoch, it will be a bit disappointing.

The two of them played at the top of the mountain for almost two hours before deciding to descend the mountain.

After returning to the Little Shaydek station from the top of the mountain, Tang Feng and Sophia chose the downhill route of the western route, the train from this route is wider and brighter than the train going up, and the windows of the train can be pulled up, which surprised Sophia.

After opening the window, although the cool breeze poured in was a little cool, it was absolutely fresh, and without the obstruction of the window glass, Sophia could also use the camera in her hand to leave the scenery along the way.

This day was really fun, even Tang Feng had never seen such a beautiful scenery.

From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain and back again in one day, the scenery within the mountain is completely different. The top of the mountain is covered with snow, a wonder of the ice and snow world; Below the mountainside, there is the emerald green of the grass that cannot be seen at a glance, and the bright yellow of the mountain flowers; On the gentle slopes, sheep flocks are scattered, and various streams and waterfalls formed by snow-capped mountains and water are clear and flowing in the valleys everywhere; The villages in the valley are peaceful and tranquil, and the people live a simple, simple and leisurely life.

Such a beautiful view, such a pleasant, so that Tang Feng even moved the idea of buying a property here, but as soon as this idea rose, Sophia next to him said: "Honey, let's buy a villa here, so that we can come here every year to enjoy the scenery here!" ”

Well, both of them want to go together, and since that's the case, let's buy it. Isn't it just a villa, as the saying goes, it's hard to buy happiness with money, and now since it is a problem that can be solved with money, Tang Feng has never felt sorry for money.

"Okay, let's go see the house tomorrow, as long as you fall in love, it's a castle, and I'll buy it for you!" (To be continued.) )
