What an experience!! While we were staying in Lucerne, we planned an amazing day to go to Jungfraujoch, which is the top of Europe. 12000 feet in altitude!!! We had to get up at 4:30am to drive to Interlaken, which is surrounded by three mountains Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. We took three trains to get up, including the last cogwheel train that actually went through the mountain. It took 2.5 hours each way, but wow, what an experience.
On our descent, we took an alternate route, which let us visit the adorable town of Grindelwald. I love Austria and Switzerland, with the flower pots hanging on every windowsill. Super adorable. It was also neat to hear the cowbells ringing in the mountainside.
It was hard to pack for this day, since I had to have hats and mitts and a snowsuit for Maddy for the top of the mountain, but then shirts and shorts at the bottom where it was a very warm day!
A once in a lifetime opportunity to visit the Top of Europe!
