Klausen Pass

A series of well-engineered bends leads up to the Vorfrutt (1,812 m/5,945ft), from which four further bends take the road to the Klausen pass (1,948 m/6,391ft; chapel, kiosk), 23km/14mi from Linthal. The road then runs down 1.5km/1mi to the Klausenpasshöhe Hotel (1,838 m/6,030ft) and continues down the Schächen valley, with the 93 m/305ft high Staubi falls. After passing through Urigen (1,280 m/4,200ft) it reaches Unterschächen (994 m/3,261ft), at the mouth of the steep Brunni valley, with a view of the Grosse Windgälle (3,192 m/10,473ft) and the Grosser Ruchen (3,136 m/10,289ft). Between Spiringen and St Loreto is the Kinzigpass inn (640 m/2,100ft), with the 16th C. Loreto chapel. From Brügg a cableway (3.2km/2mi in two stages) runs up
