The 1,005 meter high Brünig Pass represents the connection between the Haslital in the Bernese Oberland and the Sarneraatal in the canton of Obwalden. Hikers, mountain bikers as well as motorcyclists and motorists meet on the pass, which even has a train station. You can satisfy your hunger in the inn directly on the pass road or you can spend the night at the Brünig Pass.

Brünig Pass (1008 m above sea level)
There is some historical evidence of the Brünig Pass dating back to 1304. These include agreements, protective alliances, regulations regarding property, etc. between Obwalden and Oberhasler. The trade routes from Bern via Thun and Lucerne via Brünig met in Meiringen. They then continued over the Grimsel, Griespass to Lombardy.
The main export was Sbrinz cheese, which is why this trade route was called the Sbrinz Route. The transport was carried out exclusively by mule drivers. This was a profitable venture until the beginning of the 19th century. With the development of various passes with roads, it lost importance and the opening of the Gotthard Railway in 1882 brought mule traffic to a complete standstill.
Today, interested parties can experience the mule traffic on the Sbrinz route in the summer months. Construction of the Brünigstrasse began in 1857. The Brünigbahn opened in 1888. This cog railway runs over the summit of the Brünig Pass (1008 m above sea level) from Lucerne to Meiringen and Interlaken.
