This pass is described in detail by Guy de Maupassant in his gripping story L'Auberge. In the Sherlock Holmes story "The Final Problem" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson cross the pass on their way to Meiringen, where Sherlock Holmes has his meeting with Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls.
Mark Twain visited the pass in August 1878, and described it in a letter to his wife.
