Top of the Jungfrau, 3500m high.  The train track/tunnel was carved out in 1869 and took 16 years to complete. It was opened in 1912 and it is Europes highest altitude railway station. The railway tunnel cuts through the Eiger and Jungfrau and emerges at the top of Jungfrau. Stunning views over the Alps. The trip on the train through the tunnel quite inspiring. Built with Italian labour. Health and Safety wouldn’t allow you to do it today.
