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.
