A really beautiful tour in the Simonswald forest.

Fantastic view to the south towards Schauinsland

The Kronen Mill was named after the "Krone-Post" inn, whose owner, Bernhard Burger, had the old mill restored and rebuilt near the sawmill site in Simonswald. Built around 1800, the mill belonged to the Adamhof farm near St. Märgen and was in operation until the 1950s.

The "ice cellar" still preserved here was built in 1880 by Johannes-Georg Schultis, the innkeeper of the Kronenwirt (crown inn). It was so large that one could drive into it with a horse-drawn cart. Besides this ice cellar, there were five more in the valley, each of varying sizes. Where possible, ice ponds were created nearby, the ice was cut off, and large blocks were transported to the cellar. Ice pools were created in meadows for ice extraction. Chestnut trees were usually planted around the ice cellars, which provided plenty of shade in the summer. There is evidence that beer has been brewed in Simonswald since 1815. Fackler beer was brewed nearby at the Ochsen Inn and was sold as far away as Alsace. The beer was very popular due to the good water quality.
