Short but, depending on your legs, a nasty climb.

A small mountain pass between the cantons of Obwalden, from Giswil and Lucerne to Sörenberg. The route is narrow on the Obwalden side and in places only single-track, stretching with a very constant gradient of 8 to 12% over meadow slopes and forest up to the highest point. From the Lucerne side, starting at the Brienz Rothorn cable car valley station, it is also only two-track. The highest point is somewhat unspectacular, situated in the sparse mountain forest at the foot of a rock face; the actual pass summit is somewhat lower on the Lucerne side, where there is also a small kiosk.
