The mountain restaurant is a great place to stop for a meal. The service is very friendly, and the food is fresh and very good.

The Rengg Pass connects Hergiswil and Alpnachstad and was once an important mule track. Today, a beautiful hiking trail leads through forests and past historical sites, including the remains of a medieval defensive wall. The pass offers tranquil nature, steep sections, and views of Lake Lucerne and Mount Pilatus – ideal for a short, historically rich hike.

Varied and rocky, but also very flowy towards the end.

As of the end of May 2025, the side road from Lungern train station to the wrestling arena on Brünig Pass is paved throughout. Only 20 meters at the Chäppeli parking lot are still compact gravel. For those who value their lives, take this route and not the Brünig road (N/A8) over the pass.

In summer, there's a lot of traffic over Brünig. Those who prefer a quieter climb can take this route, but you'll have to push your road bike a short distance over gravel – or if you're not afraid of getting a flat tire, you can just ride over it. Another advantage: the scenery is much more scenic than the main road. But be sure to take the main road downhill.

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.

This side road to Brünig has a short stretch of gravel, about 200m-300m, the rest is asphalt or concrete. No problem going up and down with a gravel bike or mountain bike. Racers with 30 or 28 inch wheels should also be fine, but probably not with an aero racer. But it is certainly a good alternative to the main pass road.

The Renggpass is located at 885 meters above sea level, exactly between the two cantons of Nidwalden and Obwalden. From here you can look down about 450 meters to Lake Lucerne.
