Schonau am Konigssee: Jenneralm - Jennerbahn
The landscape around Jenneralm above Schönau am Königssee is steep, forested and alpine, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The Jenner rises to 1,874 metres in the Berchtesgaden Alps, immediately east of Königssee and close to the Austrian border. Jennerbahn links the lakeside settlement with the mountain, making the upper slopes accessible for walking and winter sports. Below lies Königssee, a long, narrow lake enclosed by high mountain walls within Berchtesgaden National Park. Boats on the lake serve St Bartholomä, a pilgrimage church on its western shore whose onion-domed silhouette is among Bavaria’s best-known Alpine landmarks. This is a landscape where mountain transport and protected high-country terrain meet.

Schönau am Königssee combines the stillness of a mountain lake with the scale of the Berchtesgaden Alps, reflecting its position beside Germany’s only Alpine national park. Königssee extends south from the village between steep limestone walls beneath the Watzmann massif, and electric passenger boats provide transport across its water. On the far shore, the pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä, marked by red onion domes, is one of Bavaria’s best-known lakeside landmarks. Mountain routes and the Jenner cable car lead to higher ground above the lake. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Schönau am Königssee and the Berchtesgaden Alps.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
