"The deep blue and cold lake!" Achensee by Roeffie

Achensee Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 24 photos

The Achensee is just south of the Austrian-German border. It's a very cold but beautiful lake. It lies at an altitude of 930 m.

With it's length of 9 km and its 72o ha., it's the largest natural formed lake of Tirol. The lake has a depth of 135 m and has te most beautiful color you have ever seen.

The visiting opportunities are great.

Southern part of Bavaria is within a few miles. Places like Tegernsee, Bad Tölz etc.

To the south Gerlos, Krimml, Rattenberg, Innsbrück. All within easy reach to visit.

On the Achensee you'll only find a few smaller villages like Achenkirch, Pertisau and Maurach.

View to Pertisau

To have a informative page about this area I took the different places at the Achensee together on this page.

I'll hope you like it and are is fond of this area as I am.

Very nice and useful websites on the Achensee are

I too found the train a little bit expensive but worth it for the view when you arrive at the lake, boat trip also recommened, most enjoyable

Nice page - but in warm summers like 2003 the lake was quite good to swim in - and this clean crystal clear water!!
