Mohnenfluh, Mountain summit in Vorarlberg, Austria
Mohnenfluh is a 2,542-metre summit in the Lechquellen Mountains of Vorarlberg, the fourth-highest peak in the Schröcken area after the Braunarlspitze, Kleinspitze and Butzenspitze. Its south ridge rises above the Mohnen Saddle at 2,315 m, and the 2,412 m Juppenspitze stands in front of it to the northeast. The Bregenzer Ach springs on its eastern flank above Schröcken at about 2,400 m.
The name element "Mohn(-en)" may derive from Mond ("moon"), or, since Bergmähder lie nearby, from Mahd/Mähen ("mowing"). "Fluh" is an Upper German word for a broad or high rock mass, a crag or rock face, as recorded by Adelung. The sources give no founding date or historical event for the summit.
