Jungfraujoch- Top of Europe

Jungfraujoch, also known as the Top of Europe, is a glacier saddle/ridge (a low point of an area formed by erosion of glaciers) that connects two famous mountains of the Bernese Alps, Jungfraujoch and Monch. Before 1912, the Jungfraujoch was a totally isolated area, as it was located at an elevation of 3454 meters from sea level and in the past consisted of only snow and ice. But when Adolf Guyer-Zeller, one of Switzerland’s most famous businessmen, came up with a brilliant idea to build a railway line from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfrau, many people didn't believe in this idea of his, but he still pushed through, believing in his vision. Finally, the construction of the railway line began and took 16 years to complete, and finally, on August 1, 1912, it was opened to the public. Now, Jungfraujoch is one of Switzerland's most popular attractions and is visited by huge numbers of people each year. 

Additionally, Jungfraujoch is also called the “Top of Europe” due to it having the famous Jungfraujoch railway, which is the highest railway in Europe and located at an elevation of 3454 meters from sea level.
