Brienzer Rothorn, the three-canton peak

This hike is continuously marked as route 65 Napfbergland border path. Furthermore, the destination Brünig Pass is marked at the starting point and on most signposts along the way. In the first section, the path ascends comfortably to the Brienzer Rothorn. This forms a three-canton peak, as Bern, Lucerne, and Obwalden meet here. At the same time, at 2,349 meters above sea level, it is the highest point in the canton of Lucerne. The view in good visibility is sensational: among the countless peaks, only the best-known are mentioned: Säntis, Pilatus, Stanserhorn, Rigi, and Bürgenstock in the east. To the north, the view extends over the Jura to the Black Forest. From the Bernese Alps, Niederhorn, Stockhorn, Niesen, and the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau are mentioned. The view of Lake Brienz is also breathtaking. Further, arms of Lake Lucerne and part of Lake Zug can be identified. After the descent to the Eisee saddle, a ridge hike follows to Arnihaggen, over Zwischenegg and Gibel to Tüfengrat. There are some exposed spots to overcome, some fitted with ropes. Surefootedness and lack of fear of heights are required. The ridge forms the canton border between Bern and Obwalden. At Tüfengrat, turn left. For a short stretch, Lake Brienz and the village of Brienz lie at the feet of the hikers. Then descend along the slope to Wilervorsass. After a short ascent, descend through pastures. White-red-white painted markers indicate the direction. Through Schäri, the destination near the Brünig-Hasliberg train station is reached.
