The Kronberg ( 1662.8 m above sea level ) is located south of Jakobsbad in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden in Switzerland and is part of the Appenzell Alps . The mountain station of the cable car is in the Gonten district , while the mountain peak is in the Schwende district . The Kronberg is famous for its view of the mountains of the Alpstein , which it is in front of to the north.
Surname
In the local dialect the Kronberg is called [ˈxrobɛg], usually with a short -o-. The mountain is already occupied in the Middle Ages (end of the 9th century Chraunberch , 1071 Chranperche , approx. 1280 Cramberch ).
Development
The Kronberg can be reached from Jakobsbad on several hiking trails and with the Jakobsbad – Kronberg cable car . The Kronberg can also be easily reached from Appenzell on a hike from the northeast, as well as from Schwägalp on the other, southern side of the Kronberg. In winter, a 7 km long, prepared toboggan run leads down to Jakobsbad.
As an easily climbed mountain, the Kronberg is a popular excursion destination and can also be hiked in winter on signposted snowshoe tours or winter hiking trails.
At the valley station of the Kronbergbahn there has been a summer toboggan run from the Alpine-Coaster system , a zipline and a fairytale world since June 28, 1999 . There are also two large playgrounds that are open to the public near the valley station.
