ギュプセン湖のおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The origins of devotion to St. James at this location are linked to a legend. According to this legend, the apostle violently hurled his walking sticks away from Santiago de Compostela, and they landed on the Kronberg. This explains the origin of the two pilgrim staffs in the colors red and yellow (the Spanish national colors!).

Perfect for a short break, protected by the trees

Pretty and typical Appenzell village.

Best mountain views of the surrounding mountains and on the other side of the Säntis

When visibility is good, you have a great all-round view.

If the weather is good, you will be rewarded for the climb (moderately difficult for inexperienced hikers). The view is fantastic. The inn is closed on Mondays, but otherwise you can enjoy simple but delicious meals on a wonderful terrace.

Very suitable parking lot for Hundwiler Höhi.

Since summer 2024, the inn's exterior has been completely renovated and looks very beautiful and colorful. Older photos are therefore no longer up-to-date, but the food is still superb and comparatively reasonably priced.
