There are two peaks here, Glarner Vorab (3018m) to the north, Bündner Vorab (3028m) to the south. Both are situated at the sharp corners on the cantonal boundary.

At certain scales, Swiss Federation maps show these two peaks as (roughly):
Glarner ~
3018
~ Vorab
3028 Bünder ~
so if you just read it quickly, you might think there was only one peak (though presumably this copyrighted material should not have been used as a source in the first place). As it is, the OSM peak "Vorab" is right in the middle of of the saddle between them.

In real life, this is the only bridge over the river in the whole valley. On OSM, the road and the river are constantly crossing and recrossing.

There's a long road tunnel here, but being a new user I don't want to add something whose precise location I can only get from a paper map.
