These are Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. I took this shot at Birg right after lunch at Piz Gloria—the 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 I found the lore behind them more interesting.

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.

I only knew Eiger as an outdoor gear brand in my country. Then, 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.
