Start your hikes and alpine tours of varying difficulty in Berchtesgaden National Park. Experience unforgettable moments in the mountains and spectacular views of the Berchtesgaden Alps.

The Jennerbahn at Königssee

Enjoy a leisurely cable car ride up Jenner, a favorite mountain destination above Lake Königssee, with spectacular views of Watzmann along the way. Each gondola can accommodate up to ten people. You can bring strollers, child carriers, backpacks, wheelchairs, and walking aids; bicycles are allowed only as far as the mid-station. Dogs are also permitted and must be kept on a leash, but muzzles are not required. If needed, you can rent the necessary equipment right next door at the sports shop.

 

Accessible travel on the Jennerbahn

All stations and other areas of the cable car are largely accessible. In addition to stairs, ramps and elevators are available. A special gondola for hang gliders can easily transport gliders up to five meters long to the summit station without having to fold them. Some take off, while others simply enjoy watching.

 

Take the gondola to a hiking paradise

The Jennerbahn’s gondolas take you quickly and comfortably to a hiking paradise. From both the mid-station and the summit station, you can set out on numerous hikes in Berchtesgaden National Park, with trails of varying difficulty leading you into the mountains.

A special highlight for climbing enthusiasts is Laxersteig, a via ferrata for ambitious climbers, while Schützensteig is particularly suitable for beginners and families.

Be sure to take some time at the summit station to visit the National Park information center, “Das ist der Gipfel”. Its permanent exhibition explores the fascinating world of rock and stone.

 

Double the enjoyment at the panoramic restaurants

At the mid-station, Halbzeit Restaurant welcomes you with about 80 seats indoors and outdoors. Relax on the terrace, soak up the warm sun, and enjoy views across the valley. At an elevation of 1,800 meters, Jenneralm mountain restaurant offers magnificent panoramic views of the Berchtesgaden Alps.
Hot meals are served daily until 30 minutes before closing time.

Tip: The Speicherteich Loop Trail

A great way to explore Jenner is the Speicherteich Loop Trail, which leads from the mid-station down to the large Speicherteich reservoir.

 

A digital treasure hunt and escape game turn the hike into an adventure

The trail starts at the Jennerbahn summit station. Both games follow the approximately four-kilometer hiking trail via Mitterkaseralm to the mid-station. The treasure hunt, guided by Franzi the marmot, takes about two and a half hours, including around one and a half hours of actual walking time, and is suitable for children ages 8 to 12.

The escape game for teens and adults, with virtual assistance from Tina the ranger, takes about the same amount of time. As a reward and souvenir, everyone who successfully solves the puzzles receives a golden Jenner taler from the treasure chest at Halbzeit Restaurant at the Jennerbahn mid-station.
