My Sweet Switzerland Trip 2008


At the Jungfraujoch railway in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland...


stopping halfway for a quick pic, beautiful??

taking the rare opportunity to have some fun with the snow..


The Jungfrau (German: "maiden/virgin") is the highest peak of a mountain massif of the same name, located in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, overlooking Wengen.


Jungfraujoch is the lowest point on the mountain ridge between Mönch and Jungfrau, at 3471 m. It is just above this location that the mountain station of Jungfraubahn is located, Jungfraujoch railway station, which at an elevation of 3,454 metres is the highest railway station in Europe. The Jungfraujoch is often called the "Top of Europe" in tourist literature...

Fighting with the strong wind up at the first level of Jungfrajoch..

lucky the wind is not so strong at the higgest level of Jungfraujoch...


but no joke, it is rather cold up there and the air was thin too. Out of thirty over people in our group, only 7 of us make it to the top of Jungfraujoch ...


At the Ice Palace - Eispalast Palaris de glace (Jungfrajoch).

The Kapellbrücke ("Chapel Bridge" in German) is a 204 m (670 ft) long bridge crossing the Reuss River in the city of Lucerne in Switzerland. It the oldest road bridge in Europe which was built in the fourteenth-century...


with a sweetie at Lucerne..

The Lion Monument in Lucerne is a giant dying lion carved out of a wall of sandstone rock above a pond at the east end of the medieval town. It was designed as a memorial for the mercenary soldiers from central Switzerland who lost their lives while serving the French king Louis XVI during the French Revolution.
