Here a small detour would be appropriate to the pilgrimage church Hergiswald, which was supplemented in 2019 by a new inn. The wooden construction was designed by Gion A. Caminada. hergiswald.ch

The old Hergiswald Bridge dates back to 1791 and is a listed building. Since a new bridge for car traffic was built in parallel in 2012, the old bridge has been restored and the original trusses have been reinstalled.
