Though the name could be translated as Moonshine Peak, Mond originates from romance monticinu, which means small mountain meadow.[1]

Climbing

The Mondscheinspitze is the highest mountain in the Pre-Karwendel range. The summit can be reached from the Eng valley from the west or from the east from Pertisau. Both routes require alpine experience and are rated I or II by the alpine scale.[2]
