Topographic Architecture of Jungfrau
The Jungfrau (4,158 m / 13,642 ft) is the third-highest peak in the Bernese Oberland and one of the most iconic mountains in the world, forming the spectacular triumvirate with the Eiger and the Mönch above Grindelwald. Its name, meaning 'Young Woman' or 'Virgin,' was given by medieval monks who saw in the long white snowfields of its south face the outline of a white veil. First climbed on August 3, 1811, by Rudolf and Hieronymus Meyer guided by local chamois hunters Joseph Bortis and Alois Volker, the Jungfrau now hosts the Jungfraujoch, at 3,454 m the highest railway station in Europe, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
