the problem is at some points - that the lines interchange at resolution 23. I know the main problem is phyghtmap. Groundtruth and gnuplot with b-spline interpolation can do this much better. But at resolution 24 still never lines intersect, at resolution 23 they do.
(the commenting of the wrong angle fixer didn't seem to help or change anything - I have to compare tomorrow again however. Just locked myself out of my compile server somehow entering the password wrong too often). 
Yes very steep and 10m equidistance which is not suited for such steep slopes - but it's possible to create much better contourlines (as seen from the contourlines on kleineisel.de - they never intersect also at resolution 23).

As I understand it, internally Garmin devices hold coordinates in the number of bits specified in the level.

So 24 bits has a resolution of 2.4 metres, 23 bits has a resolution of 4.8 meters and so on. If you look carefully, all the vertices of the lines lie on a square grid.

Having said that, that must be a very steep slope - unless something else is creating the granularity.

Subject: [mkgmap-dev] Resolution 23 raster problems
Any ideas why this is happening?
Some of the contourlines intersect each other at resolution 23 - I especially used reduce-point-density=1.0 to try to stop it.

java -jar -Xmx47000M /home/contourlines/mkgmap.jar --keep-going --dem-poly=/home/contourlines/bounds/bayern.poly --series-name=openmtbmap-cntrs-DBY-23-Apr-2021 --dem=/home/contourlines/hgt/VIEW1/,/home/contourlines/hgt/SRTM1v3.0,/home/contourlines/hgt/VIEW3/,/home/contourlines/hgt/SRTM3v3.0/ --dem-dists=5520 --max-jobs=7 --reduce-point-density=1 --transparent --style-file=srtm24 --latin1 95260000.osm.pbf  

Is there any way to improve this?

Look at the screenshots - the small one is resolution 23, the big one 24. If using 10m interval contourlines this is pretty obviously not ideal. Resolution 24 could be nicer - but I guess this is more a problem of phyghtmap (while groundtruth can produce higher quality), but resolution 23 really becomes confusing vs 24...:
