Jakobsbad

Jakobsbad is a scattered settlement in the Appenzellerland and a stage place of the famous Jakobsweg. The place got its name from the Jakobsbrunnen spring, which rises near the chapel to St. Jacob on the slope of the Kronberg. A convent of the Capuchin nuns as a branch of the Franciscan order is located in Jakobsbad. The valley station of the cable car Jakobsbad-Kronberg is located in the village. Near the valley station you will find an adventure land for families with a fairy tale world, a bobsleigh run and ziplines. A barefoot path also leads to Gontenbad.

“It was a great insight into the world of chocolate, and the kids really enjoyed creating their own chocolate.”

“I had a great time taking part in this outdoor activity and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I felt safe thanks to the professional coaches who gave clear instructions and patiently taught me how to use the equipment. The gear was in excellent condition, and the whole activity was fun, safe, and well organized. I would definitely recommend it.”

“I loved the canyon swing. It felt like a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. The team were friendly and helpful, kept me calm when I started to panic, and gave me a little push to finally get off. Thank you.”
