Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.

Just 3:35 into the game, the Jets held a 1-0 lead after Gabriel…

Dallas officials appear to be stuck between a rock and a hard place after a deal they tried to broker with the city’s police and fire pension system was rejected Thursday. The agenda for a special called City Council meeting Saturday indicated the city’s push to authorize the deal. But it is unclear what the city will do now, especially since a Texas Senate bill that would’ve tipped the stakes in the city’s favor and given weight to its pension payment plan — ramping up spending over five years to resolve a $3 billion funding shortfall in 30 years —…
