Jenner with children / Jennerbahn - Is it worth it?
This family's experience:

Activities: We used the Jennerbahn to go up. From the Bergstation we went to the Aussichtsplattform with Königssee view. "A well-laid path winds its way (partly over steps) to the viewpoint with a view of Königssee and then a short distance further up to the wooden summit cross."

Highlights: The view of Königssee and Watzmann from the Jenner viewing platform is very beautiful. Our children found it exciting to explore the small paths around the Stahlhaus. The view was great, especially when there were fewer people around ✨
