Krunkelbachhütte
The Berggasthof Krunkelbachhütte is located at 1294 m between the Herzogenhorn and the Spießhorn in the southern Black Forest on the district of Bernau in the Black Forest . This makes it one of the highest mountain inns in Baden-Württemberg .
Surname
The name of the hut is derived from the Krunkelbach, which rises north of the hut in a meadow depression and flows down the eastern slope to the Menzenschwander Alb .
history
As early as 1931, a cattle hut with a herder house and an inn was built at this point by the local community of Bernau-Dorf . When the five local communities of Bernau - Hof, Dorf, Innerlehen, Riggenbach and Außenental - were merged in 1934, the State Property Office took over the Krunkelbachhütte to repay the community's debt. The hut burned down on April 30, 1945 after French soldiers were set on fire because German soldiers were in the hut. The present hut was built in 1953. In 1968 - at the instigation of the then mayor Albert Schmidt - the hut was leased to the municipality of Bernau free of lease, but with the condition that all maintenance tasks were paid for. Already at that time she received a telephone connection, which is why the St. Blasien Forestry Office built a forest path to the hut in 1968, which was paved in the early 1970s. In 1956 the first electric pasture fence was installed. Electrification took place in 1969 and the water supply was improved in 1971 . The hut has been run by the Jünger family as a family business since 1993.

Numerous hiking trails lead to the Krunkelbachhütte , for example from Bernau-Dorf ( 916 m ) on the Hans-Thoma-Weg over the Scheibenfelsen ( 1052 m ), from Bernau-Hof on a more direct route, coming from the Herzogenhorn on the nature trail through the valley or from Menzenschwand over the Spießhorn.
