The motorway bridge is crossed, and after the Rugenbräu brewery, the route continues to the right above the paved road. On the rising gravel path, it goes to the Unspunnen castle ruins, which have existed since the early 12th century. The slab path to Wilderswil offers a magnificent view over Matten and Bönigen and the fantastic mountain world at Lake Brienz.
