When Josef Meneder, head chef at Jenneralm, welcomes his first guests each morning, the breakfast eggs have only travelled a short distance from Garching an der Alz to Schönau am Königssee. The Jenneralm team uses around 1,000 eggs per week – for golden scrambled eggs for breakfast, homemade spaetzle and tempting desserts. Since 1960, everything at the Mühlhauser Hof farm in neighbouring Chiemgau has revolved around chickens. What began as a small chicken farm has been expanded by the senior partner and his two sons into an impressive family business. Matthias, 31 years old and a master farmer, knew even as a child: ‘I want to be [...]

Rose and peppermint instead of Air-Wick? While other places are still trying to combat natural odors with chemical fragrances, the Jenneralm has a much more natural solution: if it smells bad, a little herb is used! Writing about the toilet? Why not, after all, we all have to go sometimes and enjoy cleanliness and a fresh scent. We owe our new world of fragrances to the herbal ovens from the Irschenberg-based company Kräuterei. “Replacing synthetic fragrances with natural herbs is a sustainable and natural solution to bad odors for us,” says Jennerbahn CEO Thomas Mühlthaler. “After all, we are also a partner of the nationalpark Berchtesgaden.” [...]

20 Minuten dauert die Seilbahnfahrt bis zur Bergstation der Jennerbahn auf 1.800 Metern.  Nach Verlassen der Gondeln am Berg bleiben die meisten Besucher erst einmal wie angewurzelt stehen. Zu beeindruckend sind Bergwelt und das erhabene Gefühl, mitten zwischen den Gipfeln der Berchtesgadener Alpen zu stehen. Der direkte Weg auf die Sonnenterrasse der Jenneralm ist verlockend - wir aber empfehlen, sich zunächst die Zeit für den Rundweg um die Bergstation zu nehmen. Hier locken grandiose Aussichten und tolle Fotomotive. Der Weg ist sichtbar beschildert mit „360°“, ein Einstieg ist überall möglich. An der Bergstation führt die Beschilderung erst einmal Richtung Westen zur neuen Panoramatafel neben dem Startplatz der Drachenflieger. Der weite Blick [...]

Panoramic hike with two cable cars I confess: I may be an employee of the Jennerbahn, but I'm also a real fan of the Obersalzbergbahn. The little red gondolas from 1949 have a wonderful touch of nostalgia. They take their passengers comfortably up to the Carl-von-Linde trail, a high-altitude hiking trail that connects the Obersalzberg documentation with the Scharitzkehl alpine pasture in front of the Göll west face. The mostly well-shaded forest path leads along the slopes of the Obersalzberg and repeatedly offers wonderful views of the valley. If you can manage a few climbs on the mostly flat trail, we recommend the hike from the Obersalzbergbahn mountain station to the Jennerbahn [...]
