“THE KÖNIGSBLICK”
View of the Königssee
In addition to the varied hiking area, the modern cable car and the cozy restaurants, the Jenner is well known for its incomparable view of the Königssee and Watzmann. A few meters below the Jenner summit there is a spacious viewing platform from which you can enjoy the view of the mountains and the Königssee. The Jenner summit cross is located at 1,874 meters.
Simply enjoy and marvel… let your thoughts wander out into the mountain ranges and experience untouched nature. The green forests radiate tranquillity, the fresh mountain air fills you with new energy. The perfect excursion!
Summit trail
From the Jennerbahn mountain station (1,800 m), a hiking trail (approx. 74 meters in altitude) leads uphill to the Jenner summit. After a 20-minute walk from the mountain station to the summit, you reach the viewing platform. Once there, the Königssee literally lies at your feet. See the entire Königssee from above and enjoy the fantastic view of the entire mountain world of the Berchtesgaden Alpine National Park.
Good footwear is a prerequisite.
| Distance: | 550 m |

We would like to point out that the path to the “Königsblick” viewpoint (Jenner summit trail) is not accessible in winter when there is ice and snow due to the risk of falling.
Enjoy the magnificent panorama on our cleared 360° circular trail at the mountain station.
Königssee
The emerald-green Königssee stretches out at your feet. The eight-kilometre-long lake nestles between the mountain cliffs like a fjord. The Königsblick at 1,874 m above sea level even offers a view down to the famous pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä. With a depth of 192 meters, the 1.2 km wide Königssee remains quite cold even in midsummer. So why not watch the cool water from afar?
Watzmann
The Watzmann is the most dominant mountain massif in the Berchtesgaden Alps. It is not only its height of 2,713 meters, but above all its unusual shape that makes it so famous. From the Jenner, you have the “Watzmann woman” directly in front of you. The peaks of the Watzmann tower above. The rugged, imposing and second-highest mountain in Germany feels close enough to touch.
Steineres Meer & Hagengebirge
The Steinernes Meer is an impressive karst plateau between the Watzmann, Königssee, Hagengebirge, Hochkönigstock and Hochkalter massif. The largest mountain massif in the Berchtesgaden Alps looks like a sea turned to stone with undulating, stony waves – hence the name Steinernes Meer.
High above the Königssee there is an almost untouched patch of nature: the Hagengebirge. Here you can experience the unique and untouched mountain world with rare plants and animals. Observe chamois and ibex at your leisure.
All ambitious hikers will find numerous hikes to the mountain peaks or multi-day tours here.
Good physical condition, appropriate equipment and a mountain guide are recommended.
Hikes
