Schonau am Konigssee: Jenner Bergstation
Schönau am Königssee has served as a lakeside resort in the Bavarian Alps since the 19th century. Above the settlement rises Jenner, a 1,874-metre mountain in the Berchtesgaden Alps, close to the boundary of Berchtesgaden National Park. Its slopes are linked by cable car to the valley beside Königssee, a narrow lake enclosed by steep limestone walls. Jenner is a starting point for marked high-level walks and an established ski area, while Königssee has been navigated by electric passenger boats since 1909. The pilgrimage church of St Bartholomä, on the lake’s western shore, is among the enduring symbols of the region.

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.
