Grünten, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany.

Grünten is a 1737.9-metre ridge of the Allgäu Alps on the border of Burgberg im Allgäu and Rettenberg, its main summit called Übelhorn. Dark conifer forest with patches of rust-coloured deciduous trees covers the upper slopes above the town of Burgberg; the rocky summit ridge carries a thin antenna mast, with the rounded Gigglstein knoll to the northeast. The Grüntenhaus and Grüntenhütte stand on the slopes.

The summit has long served as an important hiking destination in the Allgäu region, with the mountain playing a role in local mountain culture. A memorial at the top honors mountain troops who died in Alpine combat during World War One, marking the mountain's connection to that historical period.

The mountain's name comes from the old dialect word "Grind", meaning bald head: smelting ore required about 100 tonnes of wood per tonne of iron, and the forests were cut so heavily that the slopes were left bare. The summit holds a memorial to mountain troops and the transmitter tower of Bayerischer Rundfunk.

The mountain offers several hiking routes of varying difficulty, with the T3 trail starting from the Kammeregg-Alp parking area and passing through the Grunten hut before reaching the summit. Visitors should wear sturdy boots and bring appropriate gear since mountain weather can shift quickly and snow or ice may be present depending on the season.

The name Grünten comes from the old dialect word Grind, meaning bald head: smelting one tonne of iron required about 100 tonnes of wood, and the resulting timber shortage left the mountain bare. Iron ore was mined here from 1471 until the late 19th century; several show tunnels near Burgberg can be visited on guided tours.
