シュヴェルブルン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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!).

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.

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.

The Chapel of St. Jakob Gonten is located southwest below the Kronberg peak at an elevation of 1,445 meters in the Appenzell Alps in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden. In 1464, mention was made of the chapel, hermit's cottage, and healing St. James's Spring. In 1456, mass was still read from a portable altar. The chapel was rebuilt in 1859.

Really great, varied, easily accessible hiking trails lead to the Höhi, from all sides of course. There is a barbecue area, a restaurant, and overnight accommodation is possible. When the visibility is good, you can see as far as Appenzellerland, Lake Constance, the Alpstein chain and the Bernese Alps.

Jakobsbad-Kronberg mountain station / Kronberg mountain inn Kronberg mountain inn: The boom in tourism was not lost on Josef Anton Rusch (1896–1990), "Schotz-Sebedöni". By building an inn on the Kronberg, he hoped to provide a better livelihood for himself, his wife and their son. But first he needed a patent, which he was able to acquire from the recently closed "Gontenbad" spa. With this authorization in his pocket, on December 1, 1934, he bought around 12 acres of building land near the summit of the Kronberg from the owner of the "Dorwies" Alp, the Leimbach brown cattle breeding cooperative. Included in the purchase was the right to tap a spring that was located around 300 meters west of the building site. This already provided essential prerequisites for the realization of Sebedöni's plans. However, before construction could begin, a transport cable car had to be built. In the valley, the so-called "engine house" was built near the "Anker" house on the road to the Kalchofen. In order to maintain a straight line, three supports were built, the first near the main building of the "Weissbüel" property, the second near Schotz, where Rusch was born, grew up and worked as a forest warden for the Höhe-Kronberg timber corporation, and the third in the "Klein Hackbüel" home pasture. This ensured that building materials and construction workers could be transported without any problems. But unauthorized persons such as a later president of the "Kronbergbahn AG" also made use of this fast travel option. On June 9, 1935, at Whitsun, the first toast was made in the new guesthouse, which was still under construction at the time. The construction work was mostly carried out by locals. During the construction period, a new telephone line was also laid from Scheidegg across the "Gross Chenner" Alp.
