Mythen, Mountain range in Schwyz, Switzerland
The Mythen mountain range rises to 1,898 meters and features two notable limestone peaks forming a distinct geological formation in central Switzerland.
The mountains have served as geographical landmarks since the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291, marking the territory of Canton Schwyz.
Local mountaineering clubs organize guided tours throughout summer, teaching participants about Alpine flora and regional geological formations.
A network of marked trails leads to both summits, with the main path starting at Holzegg and requiring approximately two hours to reach the top.
The limestone composition of Mythen creates natural caves and formations that provide habitats for rare Alpine plants and small wildlife species.
