Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe by Hive account@delishtreats

The mountain on the right is called Eiger. With its 3967 m above the sea level it is considered an extremely difficult mountain to climb. There have been many tragedies including climbing expeditions here and over 60 climbers have died attempting to conquer the north wall of Eiger. Therefore, it is also known as Mordwand or Murderous wall instead.

🥈 The Charles Bridge Lamplighter; Prague by Hive account@godfish

I never heard of this tradition as a kid, and I am hence pretty sure it was revived just a couple of years ago. Anyways, for one week of the year, a lamplighter walks over Charles Bridge in Prague and lights one lamp after another. Yes, this week. For those who have never visited my beautiful hometown, Prague: Charles Bridge construction was ordered by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and the first King of Bohemia, in 1357. Legend has it that the medieval builders used eggs to enhance the stability of the bridge; and egg proteins were actually discovered when samples from the oldest parts of the bridge were examined in laboratories. Nevertheless, the bridge was partially torn down by floods many times. And reconstructed again and again, so it could become one of the main tourist attractions of Prague.
