The start is at the mid-station of the Jennerbahn cable car, just a 20-minute walk from the Explorer Hotel. From there, the trail climbs steadily for almost 4 km on gravel and natural paths to the Jenner summit. You'll gain over 700 meters in altitude. On the climb, you'll pass the Krautkaser and Mitelkaseralm huts.
You'll be rewarded for your efforts with a unique view of Lake Königssee and the mighty Watzmann massif that surrounds you. Up here, you can enjoy the panorama from the viewing platform or with a quick snack at the Jenneralm hut.
The second part of the route is much easier and leads you downhill over the southern and western flanks of the Jenner back to the mid-station. From here, you can decide whether you want to take the cable car or walk to the valley station.
