=== Vacation on the Achensee === In a vacation apartment on the Achensee, one can enjoy the impressive mountain panorama that surrounds the largest mountain lake in Tyrol. The border between the Karwendel mountains and the Brandenberger Alps runs through Achen valley. The Achensee has a maximum depth of more than 130 meters and due to its excellent water quality the Achensee is a beloved vacation place. Anyone who books a vacation apartment on the Achensee can go swimming in the summer, but should not be afraid of cold water. Since water temperatures above 20 degrees C are seldom reached. Sailors and surfers love the optimal wind conditions on the “Tyrolean Sea.” A vacation house on the Achensee can be booked in the shore towns of Pertisau, Maurach or Buchau. One profits thereby from the location directly on the lake. One of the most beloved starting points on the lake is the community of Achenkirch, with Hotel Scholastika, which has become one of the lake landmarks, and a much visited public bathing beach. Whoever spends days in a vacation house on the Achensee has several possibilities to get acquainted with the surroundings. The Achensee Road leads directly along the lakeshore and offers good views of the Karwendel mountains. On the south shore, one can cycle along pleasant side-roads. The western shore presents itself as wildly romantic and can only be negotiated on foot. The asphalt paved hiking trail leads to the outlook point Prälatenbuche.
