Selun, Mountain summit in Sankt Gallen, Switzerland

The Selun peak reaches an elevation of 2,205 meters above sea level, positioned between the Toggenburg valley and Lake Walenstadt in the Churfirsten range.

In 1844, a notable discovery occurred near Selun when Johannes Seluner, a feral child, was found living in the Wildenmannlisloch cave system.

The mountain name originates from Selunalp, an alpine pasture located northwest at 1,700 meters, possibly derived from the Latin word sella meaning saddle.

The northern side of Selun features a T2-classified hiking trail that leads to the summit, with the Alp Schrina mountain hut located 1,357 meters southeast.

The summit stands as the nineteenth highest peak among 133 mountains in the Wahlkreis Toggenburg region, with a prominence of 158 meters.
