My Switzerland Trip (3)---The Beautiful Bernese Oberland and Jungfrau(people walk around Jungfraujoch to watch Jungfrau)

The train to the Jungfraujoch left from Kleine Scheidegg, which was reached by train from Lauterbrunnen via Wengen. The sceneries along the way were so beautiful.

In 1893 Adolf Guyer-Zeller conceived of the idea for a railway tunnel to the Jungfraujoch to make the glaciated areas on the south more accessible. The building of the tunnel took 16 years and the summit station was not opened before 1912.
