Hiking

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.

Hiking

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.

Hiking

The historic mountain saddle Rengg, 891 m above sea level, was once a popular pass crossing to Obwalden and from there to Lucerne. Before the Brünigstrasse was built, this was the only land route along the Lopper and the shortest land connection with the Brünig.
