Culture and sights

Bathers at the Klausteich

Klaus pond

The Klausteich, a former alluvial pond, is used today as a fishing and bathing pond. It is on the border with Upper Austria and can be reached via a short footpath. The water is clean, but has a clear brown color due to the high humic content. In 1934 the dam broke and the Nussbach valley was flooded. Fortunately, people were not harmed, but one of the stables was swept away by the masses of water.

Iron picture

According to the legend, the chapel "zum Eiserner Bild" is due to the miraculous rescue of a stray wanderer who, out of gratitude, had a picture painted in honor of the divine Trinity . On Trinity Sunday, the Sunday after Pentecost , there is a Kirtag at the Iron Image, to which people from all over the region like to come.

Midsummer tree

Kronberg used to own a solstice tree, which had a special feature: a bottle of Pentecost, Easter and Epiphany water was hung on it. The old custom was to stop lightning strikes. The tree itself, however, represents a symbol of life, it stands for strength and vitality. A custom that has been forgotten in recent years and is no longer practiced.

Midsummer bonfire

This custom too was almost forgotten. But in 2006, after a long break, the committed organizers managed to hold this festival, which was very positively received by the population and led to large participation. A solstice fire was held again in 2008.
