This demanding mountain hike begins in the center of Niederolang. After passing the church, follow the road called “Feldweg.” At a nearby farm, the road turns into trail no. 2, which climbs steadily uphill with several switchbacks. Continue past the reservoir on the left, eventually reaching the Spitzhorn, a scenic peak with wonderful views. From there, follow the Corones circular trail all the way to the summit of Kronplatz. At the top, several mountain restaurants offer the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy a meal with a view.

The return follows the same route back to Niederolang. Due to the length and elevation gain, this hike is considered challenging, but the stunning scenery and summit experience make it well worth the effort.
