Tips from the Community
Small, very pleasant mid-altitude resort. Hotels, restaurants, supermarket, summer toboggan run, ski slopes and beautiful landscapes. Everything you need for a pleasant sporting stay. Personally, I appreciated the welcome at the Sorenberg hotel (perfect for cyclists) and at the Baeckerstube restaurant.

In the heart of the Gsteigkirche, on the side walls, above the entrance portal and in the choir, there are numerous wall frescoes, some of them very well preserved and lovingly restored. They date from 4 different centuries. The oldest dates from the 14th century. The subsequent pictures were created 100 years later. The fragments in the nave and choir show the Incarnation of Christ and the Adoration of the Magi, as well as scenes from the Passion. They were applied in the al secco technique. Surprisingly, one of the artists has been handed down. This is Master Diebold from Bern. Died in 1473. His works were spread throughout Switzerland, but were largely lost over the centuries.

The small village of Habkern lies seven kilometers from Interlaken in the direction of Lombachalp. Many stately wooden farmhouses stand around the village fountain, which is guarded by a hawk. Especially in spring and summer, when the red geraniums bloom in front of the windows, this creates a unique sight.

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.
