A Bird's eye view is just reserved to a couple paragliders

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black

The Jenner mountain is located in the extreme southeast of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. High up on Mount Jenner above Lake Königssee, you begin to appreciate the magic and adventure of the mountains. It's all part of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Due to its picturesque setting, the mountain top is very popular with tourists and hikers. On the top at 1.874 m you can view over 100 German, Austrian peaks and the Königssee. Gazing into the distance as far as the eye can see: a royal experience. Treat yourself to this unique view of an enchanting alpine landscape. Well sign-posted trails invite hikers to discover nature's beauty on foot, there are walks for every level of difficulty. From the outdoor terrace at the top station you can watch the para-gliders and hang-gliders taking off, as well as feed the cheeky alpine choughs that circle around just a few feet away. At the edge of the hiking trails edelweiss and gentian grow. The protected area of the national park covers 210 km². Its nature is left to its own resource. The National Park demonstrates all levels of vegetation of alpine habitat. Alpine roses, edelweiss and gentian blossom on the ridges, together with the hundreds of other extremely rare flowering plants that have established themselves here. Rare golden eagles and ibex, the kings of the mountains, have also found a home here. Black grouse and wood grouse, snow hares and marmots, deer and chamois are also indigenous to the area.

A vertoramic view from the Jenner plateau over the alpine mountains in the county of Berchtesgaden - Germany. What could be more beautiful? No-one can complain about a lack of places to visit in Berchtesgadener Land. From here you can watch mountain jackdaws or hanggliders and paragliders. Photo taken from the Jenner mountain top at the height of 1,874 meters where the beauty of the Berchtesgaden valley can be viewed. An overwhelming bird's eye view is just reserved to a couple paragliders. Enjoying his or her airy cocpit view above green meadows, past cliffy rocks and Jenner plateau with all of its magnificence.

De Jenner bergtop ligt in het uiterste zuidoosten van de Duitse deelstaat Beieren, nabij de grens met Oostenrijk en deels in het Nationaal Park Berchtesgaden. Het park staat bekend als een geweldig groen en bergachtig gebied. Veel liften leiden naar de mooiste plekken in de bergen, waar u een wandeling kunt maken of heerlijk kunt genieten van een onweerstaanbaar uitzicht. Meer dan een dozijn wandelroutes in de meest uiteenlopende moeilijkheidsgraden beginnen hier. Ze behoren tot de mooiste routes van de Duitse Alpen. Zachte weiden en heuvels, steile rotsen: het Berchtesgadener Land is spectaculair en uniek in zijn diversiteit. Berchtesgaden heeft hogere bergen als de Jenner, maar het uitzicht vanaf zijn bergtop kan met alle andere concurreren. Met een hoogte van 1,874 meter heb je een prachtig zicht over bijna 100 bergtoppen en de Königssee, die als een fjord aan je voeten ligt. Vrijwel heel het meer ligt in het Nationaal Park Berchtesgaden. Het landschap is vandaag de dag nog net zo onberoerd en betoverend als in de tijd van de koningen. Omgeven door hoge rotswanden ligt de smaragdgroene Königssee als een fjord temidden van de Beierse Alpen. De rotswanden is steeds opnieuw een uitdaging voor veel bergbeklimmers. Maar je kunt ook hangend onder een paraglider van prachtige vergezichten genieten. Paragliding in Berchtesgaden is alleen niet geschikt voor beginners. Rondom de begwand van deze spits zweven paragliders hoger en hoger. Er zijn regels van het National Park rond paragliding om het wild niet te storen. De fascinatie van de bergen is zelden duidelijker als bij het symbool van het Berchtesgadener Land. Steile rotsen, donkere wouden, wilde ravijnen en gletsjers, maar ook bekoorlijke almen en liefelijke dalen. Flora en fauna worden in Duitsland's nationaalpark aan hun lot overgelaten. De bezoeker beleeft een andere bijna vergane wereld, die hier in stand gehouden en wetenschappelijk onderzocht wordt. Zo bewaren ze hier het heden een stuk verleden voor de toekomst. Het is wat mij betreft vrijwel het mooiste gebied van de Alpen en zeker het mooiste van Duitsland.
