Mythen

Also known as Grosser Mythen

The Mythen are a pair of limestone peaks above the town of Schwyz in central Switzerland: the Grosser Mythen, 1,898 metres high, and the Kleiner Mythen. Their distinctive shape dominates the valley of Schwyz and has long served as a landmark of the region where the Swiss Confederacy began.
