Digital summit books: Bergfreunde on the Jenner use new technology!

The weather was ideal for a trip to the mountains; The view was clear and the conditions were perfect to enjoy the impressive landscape. Berchtesgadener Bergbahn AG, which runs the Jenner, has been offering a modern cable car for several years, which was rebuilt a few years ago for 57 million euros after the old armchair railway was put back into operation and sold in 2024.

The digital system enables visitors to easily make entries via a QR code at the foot of the summit cross. These entries can not only be set textually, but also contain photos and are visible on the Jennerbahn website. Although similar digital summit books exist in other places, they often offer the disadvantage that GPS locations have to be disclosed, which is not the case with the Jenner.
