“A trip worth taking! The short hike was easy and pleasant. Marc is very friendly and explained to us how to handle the animals really well. We had a lot of fun and definitely want to come back!”
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.

The mineral baths were totally relaxing, from the bubble pools to the stunning outdoor views, plus the herbal steam room, mineral pool tranquility and sauna. A truly sensational day.”
