Moel Ysgyfarnogod, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, United Kingdom
Moel Ysgyfarnogod reaches 623 meters in elevation and stands as the northernmost peak of the Rhinogydd mountain range in North Wales.
The Bronze Age cairn of Bryn Cader Faner, featuring stone markers along its perimeter, lies northwest of the mountain summit in Welsh territory.
The mountain name translates from Welsh as 'Bare hill of the hares', reflecting the local language preservation and traditional naming practices in Wales.
Hikers can access the mountain through two main routes, starting from the town of Trawsfynydd on the eastern side or Talsarnau on the western approach.
From the mountain summit, visitors observe panoramic views extending to Llyn Trawsfynydd reservoir and the towns of Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog.
