Top 20 Natural Monuments in Nationalpark Berchtesgaden

The Jenner is a 1874m high mountain that can be easily reached on foot via a blue route. From the summit cross you have a great view of the Königssee in good weather. From the Hinterbrand car park to the Jenner, it takes about 2-3 hours to hike.

In addition to the diverse hiking area, the modern cable car and the cozy restaurant, 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 Lake Königssee. The Jenner summit cross is at 1,874 meters. Simply enjoy and be amazed... let your thoughts wander out into the mountain ranges and experience the untouched nature. The green forests radiate peace and the fresh mountain air fills you with new energy. The perfect trip! From the Jennerbahn mountain station (1,800 m) a well-developed hiking trail leads up to the Jenner summit. After a 15-minute walk from the mountain station to the summit you reach the viewing platform. Once there, the Königssee literally lies at your feet.

Please note that this bike/MTB highlight is off the official cycle path network. In the national park, cycling is only permitted on the paths that have been approved for this purpose, in order to protect the sensitive habitats of animals and plants and to avoid conflicts between user groups. Therefore I ask you to explore this highlight only on foot. Currently, according to the 1992 regulation and the 2012 amendment, cycling is only allowed on the following roads: 1. Hirschbichlstraße (state road 2099) and from the Bindalm bus stop to the alpine huts on the Bindalm; 2. Eiskar forest road to the fork in the path to the Schartennalm; 3. Eckau-Forststraße to Eckau-Alm with turnoff to the Schwarzederer-Wendeplatte; 4. Schappachstraße and Hammerstielstraße to Kühroint - turning point in front of the Archenkanzel - and forest road to Herrenroint; 5. Gotzenstraße and Hochbahnweg to Gotzenalm and access to the Stahlhaus; 6. Ligeretstrasse. The supplement to approved cycle paths from 2012 is in the Official Journal for the district of Berchtesgadener Land No. 20 from 05/15/2012 on page 127ff. (https://www.lra-bgl.de/t/das-landratsamt/amtsblaetter/). The ordinance is based on Art. 31 Para. 1 and Art. 43 Para. 2 No. 3 of the Bavarian Nature Conservation Act (BayNatSchG). We would be very grateful for your help to protect nature! If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. https://www.nationalpark-berchtesgaden.de/

Natural stream that is reminiscent of a wide gorge.

The name is program; enchanting path along the Ramsauer Ache, also and precisely therefore well suited for children. It is best to come early in the morning or in the evening, then you will have the path almost to yourself. Together with the Hintersee an Eldorado for photographers.

The Malerwinkel is a popular viewing point on the north bank of the Königssee. The view from the Malerwinkel over the otherwise difficult to access Königssee extends over the pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä to the Schönfeldpitze in the Steinernes Meer. From the Königssee car park, a path leads along the picturesque boathouses into the Berchtesgaden National Park. Past the Café Malerwinkel, the walk leads to the so-called Malerwinkel. This hike is also very popular as a winter walk, then the path to the Malerwinkel is cleared and gritted. The captains of the electric boats of the Königssee fleet, or one of the companions, play a flugelhorn while traveling across the lake to demonstrate the echo to the passengers. Due to the elevated position, you can also hear the echo from the Malerwinkel. https://www.berchtesgaden.de/wandern/see-klamm-wanderungen/koenigssee-malerwinkel

Very nicely laid out path along the Ramsauer Ache. Ideal for children (but not only). The circular route through the enchanted forest and along the eastern shore of the Hintersee can be easily completed in three quarters of an hour.

Attention photographers: for the classic Instagram photo (2 rocks with trees) you need a wide-angle lens.
