Jennerbahn, Cable car system in Berchtesgaden National Park, Germany
The Jennerbahn is a cable car system near Lake Königssee that transports visitors to Jenner Mountain. Modern gondolas with glass panels and chairlifts carry people to an elevation above 6,000 feet, offering views during the ascent.
The system was built after World War II to develop the region for tourism. A major modernization in the 2010s replaced older lift equipment with current gondola and chairlift technology.
The summit restaurant serves regional Bavarian food to visitors in both sheltered and open-air spaces. From this vantage point, diners experience the landscape while enjoying traditional flavors connected to the Alpine region.
The ascent departs from the lake level and climbs in stages, with stations where passengers can step out and change lifts. Visitors should bring warm layers since temperatures drop considerably at higher elevations.
The cabins are fully enclosed in glass, providing unobstructed views in all directions during the ride. Many riders overlook this detail, making the experience more immersive than typical enclosed cable cars.
