meaning
The transition played an important role in the fairy tale dispute between the abbot of Einsiedeln and the people of Schwyz. The Voralpenpass was the highest point of the Way of St. James on Swiss soil, on the way from the pilgrimage site and monastery Einsiedeln to Lake Lucerne or to Flüeli-Ranft . Even today, the hiking trail is one of the popular easy hiking routes on the trail of the St. James pilgrims.
