Explore Brunnen with an expert guide and get to know this former fishing village from a different perspective.

The municipality of Ingenbohl-Brunnen is comprised of the historic village of Brunnen and the settlements of Unterschönenbuch and Wylen. Brunnen was first mentioned in historical records in 1315, after the three founding cantons renewed their alliance in the village by the lake in 1291 following the Battle of Morgarten. Until 1618, Ingenbohl and Brunnen were part of the parish of Schwyz and the ‘Altes Land Schwyz’ (‘Altes Land’ roughly translating as ‘Old Canton’). Brunnen became an important site for the trans-shipment of goods following the opening of the Gotthard Pass. The village later developed into a famous resort for foreign tourists.
