Kleiner Mythen, Mountain summit in Schwyz, Switzerland
Rising to 1,811 meters in the Schwyzer Alps, Kleiner Mythen features steep limestone cliffs and narrow ridges facing its larger counterpart, Grosser Mythen.
The mountain's name evolved from the Latin word 'meta', indicating its pyramidal shape, with written references changing from feminine to masculine form during the 1800s.
Kleiner Mythen serves as one of the defining geographical markers of central Switzerland, representing the natural heritage of the Canton of Schwyz.
The mountain requires technical climbing skills and proper equipment, with access routes primarily open between May and October due to weather conditions.
The mountain's position creates a distinct geological formation with a prominence of 373 meters, establishing it as a parent peak to Grosser Mythen.
