The Selun is one of the peaks of the Churfirsten range, located in the Appenzell Alps. It lies between the valley of Toggenburg and Lake Walenstadt in the canton of St. Gallen. The summit is easily accessible by a trail on the northern side. The peak is named for the extended alpine pasture ''Selunalp'' to the peak's north-west, situated above c. 1700 m.〔 (Selunalp ) in ''Geographisches Lexikon der Schweiz'' (1902). Indicated as ''Vordere Selunalp'' and ''Hintere Selunalp'' on the Siegfried Map ((map.geo.admin.ch )); note also ''Selunwald'' between 1100 and 1500 m, separating ''Selunalp'' from the lower ''Hofstattalp''.〕 The name's etymology is uncertain, possibly from a '' *sellonem'' (Latin ''sella'') "saddle".〔Wilhelm Götzinger, '' Die romanischen Ortsnamen des Kantons St. Gallen '' (1891), (p. 78 ). Paul Zinsli, ''Sprachleben der Schweiz: Sprachwissenschaft, Namenforschung, Volkskunde'' (1963), (p. 297 ).〕 Named for ''Selunalp'' is Johannes Seluner (c. 1828–1898) who was found in 1844 as a feral child living in Wildenmannlisloch cave. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Selun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
