Kröndlhorn

The Kröndlhorn rises 2,444 meters above sea level, marking the border between Tyrol and Salzburg regions with its prominent peak in the Kitzbühel Alps.

The construction of the small summit chapel originated from a farmer's commitment after experiencing several stillbirths, leading to its placement upon the birth of a healthy child.

The mountain areas support traditional Alpine farming practices, with local shepherds guiding their sheep, goats, and cattle to graze on the slopes during summer months.

The ascent from Windautal requires approximately seven hours for a round trip, covering 13.5 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,200 meters from the Holzplatz parking area.

Instead of the traditional summit cross found on most Alpine peaks, Kröndlhorn features a small chapel that accommodates two people and contains a summit register.
