The Jungfrau (German: "virgin") is the highest peak
of a mountain massif of the same name, located in the Bernese Oberland region
of the Swiss Alps, overlooking Grindelwald. The other two peaks are the Eiger
with its infamous North Wall, and the Mönch (4,099 m). The summit of
the mountain was first reached in 1811 by the Meyer brothers of Aarau. Once
difficult to access, the Jungfraubahn cog railway now runs inside the mountain,
up to the Jungfraujoch railway station at 3,454 m (11,333 ft), the highest
in Europe.
Print shows a couple having a picnic in a field and being chased
out by a bull.
