For people not used driving in the alps, the road is scaringly narrow, but at the same time it is a beautiful drive through forest trees spending shade and along some meadows leading you to the interesting alp, while passing some impressive waterfalls. On weekends it is mandatory to only drive up during even hours (e.g. start the last 5km between 10-10:40 / 20 min. drive) and down in the uneven hours (e.g. 13-13:40). On weekdays you may have to back up sometimes to the next bypass, to pass with traffic coming the other way. The short hike we made along the Steimannli-trail was instructive and easy. We even found some chanterelle and a Neoboletus luridiformis (Flockenstieliger Hexenröhrling), these we shall have for dinner.

Most reviews are about the Church of the Benedictine Monastery. This review is about the Benedictine Monastery itself. The monastery is open to the public to see and go on a tour but - only available at 4 pm and must tour with one of the monks. I had read in some of the guide books about this. There is also a 8 Swiss Franc cash only admission to go inside the monastery itself. Luckily we worked our schedule in Engelberg and Mt Titlis around this time. It is worth the time. We had an hour tour in English and there was just us 4. We learned a lot about the monastery and their order. Very interesting history as this monastery is linked closely to Engelberg. Would recommend this hidden gem.

When you are visiting Interlaken and the Swiss Alps, be sure you don’t miss this hidden spot. Discover the restaurant 30 meter (100ft) INSIDE the mountain: Enjoy a delicious meal with a fine selection of European wine. Or just order some snacks with cool drinks – surrounded by the rock! The underground restaurant is situated only one driving minute from the popular Brünig Pass road. You reach the free parking lots in only 30 minutes from Interlaken or Lucerne.
