To look at a map of Europe is to see a disconnected landmass. Sometimes described as a ‘peninsula of peninsulas’, the world’s second smallest continent is naturally divided.

Even from the centre, it is not always easy to travel to the extremes. Take the Alps for example, since ancient times, they have proven to be a formidable barrier to even the most committed and well-supplied.

Enter the base tunnel. A low-gradient, extremely long tunnel that (as its name suggests) makes a mockery of Alpine topography by traversing beneath it. In this episode we look at the latest and greatest – Brenner.
