Section of the signposted "Kraftweg" circular route. This circular route leads from the Kronberg summit (1663 m) steeply downhill to Jakobsalp (1506 m), then along the mountain slope at an altitude of around 1500 m to the east (ENE) via the Jakobsquelle (1485 m) to St. Jakob with a chapel at around 1040 m altitude; From there back uphill towards the SW and finally on the ridge back to the Kronberg summit (length almost 4 km, 210 m altitude difference).

Is on the Way of St. James. The Jakobswasser came from here for the former bathing facility in Jakobsbad.
