- 4.6 (97)·Hard·4.1 mi·Est. 2.5–3 hrPanorama ascent to the top of the Jenner in the Berchtesgaden National Park, Bavaria. The route starts at the Hinterbrand parking lot (subject to a fee) and initially leads fairly flat along the Königsweg to the Wasserfallalm. The route is somewhat steeper up to the seasonally managed Mitterkaseralm (note opening times) through shady mixed forests and fragrant alpine meadows. The last section leads via the Jenneralm at the mountain station up to the panoramic summit with sweeping views over...
- 4.6 (110)·Moderate·5.6 mi·Est. 3–3.5 hrLovely hike to the Königsbachalm, Bavaria. This route leads from the Hinterbrand car park (subject to a fee) via the Königsweg to the seasonally managed Königsbachalm, located at 1240m in the Jenner area in the Berchtesgaden Alps. Here the Wasserfallalm is passed, which welcomes visitors with a beautiful idyll. On the descent, the route then leads along the bubbling Königsbach and the snow-making basin. Technically, the hike is easy to walk, and there is only a slight ascent. Highlights: -...
- 4.6 (42)·Hard·7.8 mi·Est. 5–5.5 hrPromising circumnavigation of Schönau's local mountain, Bavaria. The demanding hike leads from the Hinterbrand car park (subject to a fee) around the Jenner. At first it goes steeply uphill via the managed Krautkaser- and Mitterkaseralm up to the mountain station of the Jennerbahn on well-developed hiking trails. There the highest point of the tour is reached and you can enjoy the magnificent view. The descent begins with many hairpin bends in the direction of the Königsbergalm. Shortly...
- 4.6 (33)·Strenuous·6.1 miDemanding hike to the Kleiner Jenner via Laxersteig. The Laxersteig is a challenging, highly exposed via ferrata that requires climbing experience and a complete via ferrata set and helmet. This route, which is rated C/D in the most difficult passages, is the tough complement to the easier Schützensteig and is not suitable for beginners. The climb features strenuous, steep and exposed passages over smooth rock and leads to the summit of the Kleiner Jenner (1,694 m / 5,558 ft) with fantastic...
- 4.9 (19)·Hard·11.7 mi·Est. 8–8.5 hrThis scenic route introduces hikers to the high-alpine wonders of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Starting near the Jenner mountain station, the trail leads toward the Carl-von-Stahl Haus before reaching the broad summit of the Schneibstein. Up on the open plateau, breathtaking vistas reveal the vast rocky fields of the Hagen Mountain Range and the famous Watzmann East Face. Navigating the unique limestone karst terrain requires careful stepping, especially across sections where water has...
- 4.7 (31)·Moderate·6.2 mi·Est. 4–4.5 hrPromising descent from Jenner in Berchtesgadener Land, Bavaria. This trail can be accessed using the Jenner cable car. Before you go down, it's worth making a detour to the summit of the 1,874 meter high Jenner. On the way down it goes along mostly well-developed hiking trails with great views of Berchtesgaden and the Königsee. You will pass several places to stop for refreshments. Highlights: - Jenner summit - great views - Refreshments
- 4.6 (17)·Hard·8.9 miPanoramic mountain hike on the Schneibstein, Bavaria. The Schneibstein is a 2275 meter high mountain in the Hagengebirge. The way to the summit is a medium-difficult mountain hike that requires sure-footedness, a head for heights and sturdy shoes. In addition, there is little shade on the tour. From the Hinterbrand car park (subject to a fee), you first walk along well-developed service roads until you reach the steep (ski) slopes of the Jenner ski run. It goes over the seasonally managed...
- 4.9 (7)·Hard·4.8 miVery worthwhile via ferrata in the Berchtesgaden National Park, Bavaria. The Schützensteig was specially designed for families and beginners. It can be reached on foot from the Hinterbrand car park or, more conveniently and quickly, from the Jenner mountain station in around 15 minutes. The Schützensteig leads to the summit of the Kleiner Jenner (Vogelstein) and offers a great view of the surrounding mountains and the Königssee. Danger! A head for heights, sure-footedness and good physical...
- 4.5 (12)·Moderate·1.6 mi·Est. 0.5–1 hrFamily-friendly hike in the biosphere region of Berchtesgadener Land, Bavaria. A beautiful mountain hike to the middle station of the Jennerbahn. Due to the short distance and the moderate difference in altitude, the route is also suitable for families with children. An alternative starting point is the Hinterbrand car park, from which you can directly access the Koenigsweg. Highlights of the hike: - Middle station of the Jennerbahn - Hinterer Brandkopf - beautiful views of the mountains
- 4.8 (19)·Hard·6.1 miScenic mountain tour in Berchtesgadener Land, Bavaria. The Hohe Brett is one of the most famous peaks in the Hohe Göll massif. The route via the Brettgabel is particularly scenic and less frequented than the main route to the summit. From the Hinterbrand car park (subject to charge), the trail leads quite steeply uphill on a mixture of gravel paths, trails, somewhat more challenging climbs and gullies to the summit of the 1805-metre-high Brettgabel. Some of the paths are unmarked but...
