in the 14th century the Brünig pass was already a well-established route from one province to the other. In 1327 the three provinces of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden agreed a defensive alliance for 16 years with Count Eberhard von Kiburg, Lord of Thun. Among other things, it pledged to take on the responsibility for the safety of the road over the Brünig to Thun. Zurich and Basle also agreed to a similar alliance with the central provinces in 1345. This serves to show how important the Brünig pass already was at that time. In the 13th century, coins from Basle and Zurich were in circulation in the Hasli Valley.
The boundary on the Brünig pass remained unmarked until late into the 14th century. For 30 years, from 1315 onwards, the monks of the Interlaken Monastery were at war with the people of Unterwalden. Therefore the inhabitants of the central provinces constructed a so-called "Wighaus", a sort of fort on the summit of the pass
