Jungfrau - A Day of Hiking in Switzerland


















On Sunday, the weather was warm, and the sky was clear and blue. We decided to go for hiking in the middle of Switzerland or the Bernese Oberland area. A mountain called Jungfrau, and nick named "The Top of Europe" dominates this area. A train can get you to the top where you can enjoy the usual tourist activities like restaurants, gifts shops, or even a walk through a glacier. Yes, you can walk inside the glacier! Pretty cool! We parked the car in a town called Lauterbrunnen, and began the journey. We zig zagged our way up for about 2.5 hours before reaching a combination restaurant and ski lift area. We enjoyed a drink on the terrace with a spectacular view of the mountains and blue sky. Once refreshed, we started the journey back to the car. This is a beautiful area of Switzerland. And what a beautiful day we had. For the first week of February, we couldn't of had a better day. You can see lots of pictures of Jungfrau here.
