This is Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. I took this shot at Birg right after lunch at Piz Gloria—the 360-rotating restaurant on Schilthorn. I’m grateful to see them in person—though the scene itself didn’t really impress me—or perhaps it was the angle from where I stood. Funny that what I found more interesting was the lore behind them.

In German, Eiger means ogre, Mönch means monk, and Jungfrau means maiden. The monk stands between the ogre and the maiden to protect her. That’s how they’re positioned geographically—Mönch right between Eiger and Jungfrau.

Funny that I only knew Eiger as an outdoor gear brand in my country—until the day before I took this shot, I was playing mini golf with friends in Grindelwald and found out the mountain behind the course was Eiger.
