  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ม.ค. 2020
  • At an altitude of 3454 meters, Jungfraujoch is Europe's highest railway station. Its construction was a pioneering technical achievement, carved by countless workers directly out of the rock of the Swiss Alps. In 1912, following some 16 years of construction, the 9.3-kilometer-long railway line was opened. Today it’s a popular destination for mountain-loving romantics, drawing in more than a million visitors a year. Euromaxx reporter Hendrik Welling went to the Jungfraujoch to marvel at this incredible achievement of engineering and experience the Swiss life.

    I had plans to propose to my (now) fiance in a small town in France during our trip through Europe but during our day at Jungfraujoch I realised that nowhere was going to top it (pun intended) and I instead did a spur of the moment proposal outside in the snow. It was the most surreal time of my life. Amazing place and we can’t wait to go back.

    My parents both almost lost consciousness from the sudden steep climb to that altitude. I was fine, thankfully, when I went up there, since I'm fitter. If you are planning to take the train up there, consider your health before you make that decision, and drink a lot of cola or another caffeinated sugary drink to support your blood circulation. If you have reduced lung capacity, like my dad, or a weak heart, and are not used to those altitudes, I'd honestly reconsider going there.

    • @wyqtor
      @wyqtor 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Even if you're perfectly healthy, altitude sickness can get to you if you spend too much time there and if you ascend fast. I almost vomited after I went there the first time and came back to Wengen with one of the worst headaches in my life. Especially if you have a heart condition, take it VERY easy. I went up there again in 5 days with minimum symptoms after long stays in Wengen and Mürren (1300 and 1600m respectively). What's worse this year is that there is a mask mandate up there as well (as if altitude sickness can't have its own complications), I actually recommend not obeying it if you feel off or out of breath.

    Was there about 20 years ago, before the restaurants and souvenir shop. What I remember were ice sculptures (a sleek sports car, among others) on the lower, shaded level.. They didn't melt, even in August. While waiting for the elevator to the observation deck, this South Florida sissy thought he would freeze, but two pairs of socks and running shoes made it perfectly comfortable. What the narrator didn't mention is that on two different occasions the train stops, everyone walks down a passageway to a humungous picture window with a fantastic view. Couldn't tear myself away at the second one and had to run to catch up with the others. Thought I'd die! Living at sea level can do that to you.

    On the other side of the world, in the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic National park on the coast of Washington, I read a fiction book called the Eiger sanction. This was my first exposure to the famous peak and I have fond memories of reading it. The book was well researched and gave some interesting details about the mountain and the train. It was made into a 70's movie with Clint Eastwood with some spectacular cinematography around the hotel and mountain. The mountain has some interesting history via climbers not making it to the top. The north face is a tragic movie about such a climb. Both movies were interesting and enjoyable.
