Always on the last Sunday in July, the popular Brünigschwinget, a wrestling contest with 130 participants and some 6000 spectators takes place on the Brünig Pass, the watershed situated between Obwalden and Bern.
The unique natural arena, the top-class athletes and the loyal spectators contribute to the special atmosphere, not to mention the folklore entertainment and the customs. This traditional event has been taking place for more than 100 years at the top of the Brünig Pass.
