The region doesn&#8217;t feel overcrowded even in the peak summer season, and at the same time, it can offer a very decent level of service without the impression of a mass-market tourist factory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1383\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Let&#8217;s break down the individual places around the lake: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1pcyf0b\" data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1443\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pertisau\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?region=1644&amp;aid=347511&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pertisau<\/a><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1819\">Pertisau lies on the western shore of Achensee and for many tourists represents the most beautiful entrance to the area. It has a direct link to the Karwendel Nature Park, an excursion atmosphere, a boat pier, and a long tourist tradition. It&#8217;s a great starting point for mountain hikes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1819\">So if you love mountain treks and are looking for a mountain lake with real facilities for an active stay, you&#8217;ll be thrilled by the local atmosphere in Pertisau. I would recommend Pertisau to those who want to be close to hiking trails, boats, the promenade, and services, while staying in a place that maintains its traditional Alpine character.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1819\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5973\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-tommes-frites-1141358642-25798309.jpg\" alt=\"Achensee - Austrian lakes \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-tommes-frites-1141358642-25798309.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-tommes-frites-1141358642-25798309-1200x630.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-tommes-frites-1141358642-25798309-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1l7nv7r\" data-start=\"1974\" data-end=\"1985\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maurach\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?region=1644&amp;aid=347511&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maurach<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1986\" data-end=\"2353\">Maurach is the most practical base for a first visit. It lies on the southern side of the lake, is easy to reach, and the range of services is also wide. You&#8217;ll find the cable car to Rofan here, the popular Atoll Achensee, swimming facilities, and a connection to the historic Achenseebahn. For families with children and for visitors who want to alternate between trips and swimming over a few days while wanting easier travel, it&#8217;s a very sensible choice at Achensee.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5981\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5981\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5981\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Biken-mit-der-Familie-in-Maurach-am-Achensee-Family-bike-ride-in-Maurach-am-Achensee.jpg\" alt=\"Maurach Achensee\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Biken-mit-der-Familie-in-Maurach-am-Achensee-Family-bike-ride-in-Maurach-am-Achensee.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Biken-mit-der-Familie-in-Maurach-am-Achensee-Family-bike-ride-in-Maurach-am-Achensee-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cycling routes even for families with children, Maurach &#8211; Achensee<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"byvw\" data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2369\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Achenkirch\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?region=1644&amp;aid=347511&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Achenkirch<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2370\" data-end=\"2651\">Achenkirch occupies the northern part of Lake Achensee and feels more relaxed to us. It has a sportier profile, offers more space, and good conditions for windsurfing, sailing, golf, and family activities. If you&#8217;re more sport-oriented and don&#8217;t require that typical spa-style holiday, then Achenkirch is the place for you.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"10are7d\" data-start=\"2653\" data-end=\"2675\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steinberg_am_Rofan\"><\/span>Steinberg am Rofan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2676\" data-end=\"2984\">Steinberg am Rofan doesn&#8217;t lie directly on the lakeshore, but we&#8217;ll mention it as it&#8217;s a great place if you like peace and a mountain environment. Here you can enjoy a stay focused mainly on hiking, and in winter on cross-country skiing, and we believe you&#8217;ll return home perfectly relaxed. The area is also known as a mountaineering village (we aren&#8217;t climbers, so we won&#8217;t judge further). It&#8217;s not the first choice for a stay solely at the lake, but for a combination of Achensee and a quieter mountain base, it is.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"10fic9a\" data-start=\"2986\" data-end=\"2997\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wiesing\"><\/span>Wiesing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2998\" data-end=\"3220\">Wiesing lies lower in the valley and often serves as a strategic spot for trips to the surrounding area. If you want to combine Achensee with other parts of Tyrol and don&#8217;t mind not staying directly by the water, it can still be a practical option.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"2998\" data-end=\"3220\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_at_Achensee_in_summer\"><\/span>What to do at Achensee in summer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As with most of our other favourite Austrian lakes, you can look forward to the fact that summer at Achensee combines mountains and the lake. Every day can be planned uniquely, e.g., a boat trip in the morning, a hike in the afternoon, swimming the next day, cycling, a visit to Atoll Achensee, and another time a cable car ride and dinner with a view of the water.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5976\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-olivers-27095254.jpg\" alt=\"Achensee - Austrian lakes\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-olivers-27095254.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-olivers-27095254-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"nfz35t\" data-start=\"3738\" data-end=\"3760\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swimming_in_Achensee\"><\/span>Swimming in Achensee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3761\" data-end=\"4070\">Achensee is one of the most beautiful lakes in Austria when it comes to the colour of the water and the local panoramas. As we wrote in the introduction, when swimming, it&#8217;s good to keep in mind that the water tends to be cooler than at lower-altitude lakes. In summer, it usually warms up to about 22\u00b0C. On hot days, it&#8217;s a pleasant refreshment, but don&#8217;t expect a long soak.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3761\" data-end=\"4070\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5972 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-nuray-mutlu-2149567890-34355065-e1776261691772.jpg\" alt=\"Achensee - Austrian lakes \" width=\"1920\" height=\"2138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-nuray-mutlu-2149567890-34355065-e1776261691772.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-nuray-mutlu-2149567890-34355065-e1776261691772-768x855.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4072\" data-end=\"4352\">Popular swimming spots can be found in Maurach, where there is the family-oriented SEE-Bad area at Atoll Achensee, as well as in Pertisau and in the northern part of the region near Achenkirch. If you&#8217;re planning a holiday with children, it&#8217;s worth choosing a hotel or apartment within walking distance of one of these beaches.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"e3thwq\" data-start=\"4354\" data-end=\"4382\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiking_around_Achensee\"><\/span>Hiking around Achensee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4383\" data-end=\"4686\">Achensee is an excellent destination for hiking. The range of trails is wide and well-marked. From short walks around the lake to treks into higher elevations and full-day mountain hikes. The advantage is that there&#8217;s something for physically fit hikers as well as recreational ones who prefer a relaxed day in the mountains without extreme elevation gain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4383\" data-end=\"4686\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5968\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-olivers-27095261.jpg\" alt=\"Achensee - Austrian lakes \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-olivers-27095261.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pexels-olivers-27095261-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4688\" data-end=\"4962\">For the active ones, we recommend visiting the western shore with access to the Karwendel. Silence, rocks, forest, water, and views back across the long lake surface.

The surroundings offer routes for recreational riding as well as sportier performances. For e-bikes, the area makes even more sense, as it opens up longer and more demanding climbs without recreational cyclists getting exhausted right at the start of the route. If you like alternating between the bike, traditional cafes and restaurants, views with a short walk, and swimming, you&#8217;ll be happy here.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5982\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5982\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5982\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Biken-in-Maurach-am-Achensee-Cycling-in-Maurach-am-Achensee.jpg\" alt=\"Maurach at Achensee\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Biken-in-Maurach-am-Achensee-Cycling-in-Maurach-am-Achensee.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Biken-in-Maurach-am-Achensee-Cycling-in-Maurach-am-Achensee-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maurach at Achensee<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1oyah01\" data-start=\"5323\" data-end=\"5355\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boat_transport_and_water_sports\"><\/span>Boat transport and water sports<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5356\" data-end=\"5668\">We enjoy a cruise on Achensee just as much as on Wolfgangsee. It&#8217;s one of the best ways to get to know the lake. From the deck, its length, the diversity of the coastline, and the contrast between the two mountain massifs really stand out. You can also use the boats as part of an excursion day, as they help connect the individual villages and trailheads.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5670\" data-end=\"5929\">Achensee is also known for very good conditions for sailing, windsurfing, and other wind sports. The wind here is quite regular and is considered part of the local conditions, much like at Italy&#8217;s Lake Garda. For active visitors, this is one of the main reasons to prefer this lake over, for example, the calmer Carinthian lakes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5980\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5980\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5980\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Achenseeschifffahrt-an-der-Anlegestelle-Seespitz-Achenseeschifffahrt-at-the-Seespitz-pier.jpg\" alt=\"Achenseeschifffahrt\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Achenseeschifffahrt-an-der-Anlegestelle-Seespitz-Achenseeschifffahrt-at-the-Seespitz-pier.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Achenseeschifffahrt-an-der-Anlegestelle-Seespitz-Achenseeschifffahrt-at-the-Seespitz-pier-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Achenseeschifffahrt &#8211; Seespitz pier, Achensee<\/p><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"5670\" data-end=\"5929\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_not_to_miss_at_Achensee\"><\/span>What not to miss at Achensee?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"154e8fl\" data-start=\"6724\" data-end=\"6740\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Achenseebahn\"><\/span>Achenseebahn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"6741\" data-end=\"6982\">The historic cog railway from Jenbach is one of the most prominent symbols of the area.

The most common arrival by car is via the A12 motorway and the Wiesing\/Achensee exit, from where you continue on the B181 road. The route is clear and uncomplicated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8393\" data-end=\"8696\">Without a car, people usually arrive via Jenbach. From there, you continue by bus or the historic railway. A big advantage of the whole area is that once you arrive, you often don&#8217;t need a car anymore. Regional transport, boats, and cable cars operate between the villages. For tourists, this means fewer transfers and a more convenient programme.
