The pass is the starting or finishing point of many hikes. Particularly popular is the route to or from the Brienzer Rothorn, which is accessible by rail at both ends.[2]
In 1339 the warriors of central Switzerland marched towards the Battle of Laupen over the Brünig pass.[4] In 1383, warriors of Lucerne, Schwyz and Uri among others crossed over the Brünig pass to support the Bernse troops in the siege of Burgdorf.[4]
In 1856 the Federal funds led to the construction of a street over the pass.[5] In 1861 the road was completed and inaugurated.[3] In the 19th century and before the inauguration of the Brünig railway, up to 120 private carriages and post wagons shall have crossed the pass.[6]
The pass is the subject of a watercolour painting by J. M. W. Turner, entitled The Brunig Pass, from Meiringen, and dating from c.1847-8.[7]
