A small mountain pass between the cantons of Obwalden, from Giswil and Lucerne to Sörenberg. The route is narrow on the Obwalden side and in places only single-track, stretching with a very constant gradient of 8 to 12% over meadow slopes and forest up to the highest point. From the Lucerne side, starting at the Brienz Rothorn cable car valley station, it is also only two-track. The highest point is somewhat unspectacular, situated in the sparse mountain forest at the foot of a rock face; the actual pass summit is somewhat lower on the Lucerne side, where there is also a small kiosk.

On the way to the Glaubenberg Pass, this route is a very pleasant alternative to the direct route through the valley from Wolhusen via Entlebuch. From the Reng Pass, it's only a short descent of a few meters until you rejoin the Glaubenberg route just before Finsterwalde.

Super nice crossing from Eigenthal towards Schwarzenberg or vice versa. You just have to drive it.
