How to reach Peace bell
The crown of the Kronplatz: This is the mighty peace bell Concordia 2000, which is located at the top of the ski resort, directly above the 11 metre wide panoramic viewing platform. Perhaps a somewhat unusual place for a bell, but a truly wonderful place.
“Concordia 2000” was the name given to the magnificent bell on the 2,275 metre high Kronplatz, which was placed on the viewing platform at the summit by the municipalities of Bruneck, Olang and St. Vigil in Enneberg as a result of the 25th anniversary of the ski resort in 2003.
This peace bell with the Latin inscription “Donet deus populis pacem” reminds of the development pioneers of the Kronplatz and is dedicated to St. Bernhard, the patron saint of mountaineers and skiers.
With a weight of 18.1 tons, a height of 3.11 meters and a diameter of 3 meters, the Concordia 2000 is one of the largest bells in South Tyrol and the Alps. The bell clapper weighs 500 kilograms and makes a cis sound. The Concordia 2000 was designed by Paul dë Doss-Moroder from Val Gardena. In total, the bell tower is 21.8 metres high.
On the viewing platform in the Kronplatz ski area, on which this mighty bell stands, there is a bronze panorama relief with the names of the surrounding mountains and the cardinal points of the most important European cities.
The Concordia 2000 rings daily at 12.00 noon and when the death penalty is abolished in a country, when a convicted person has been pardoned or when a war is over!
