Achen Lake

Aachensee – A European Gem Near Innsbruck The Aachensee, near Innsbruck, is one of my favorite lakes in Europe. The turquoise water is incredibly clear, and although it’s quite cold, it offers a beautiful refreshment for a quick swim in the summer. The hiking trail runs directly along the cliffs by the water, providing stunning views of the lake and the magnificent Austrian nature. Some sections of the trail are steep, but there are small aids to assist hikers. At the end of the lake, you can find a charming mountain hut where you can enjoy a cold drink or a snack. The natural beauty of the area is simply breathtaking.

Love this lake for a day out. The ferry ride is fun and the views are amazing. The hiking trail is good too – not too hard and really scenic.

Еverything for your unforgettable stay on the largest Austrian lake also called Tyrolean Fjords with Caribbean blue waters. Water sports, boat trip, climbing with a cabin, I recommend from the side of Pertisau, from where after the promenade there is a path along the lake with many stone beaches

Amazingly beautiful! Unique lake. Clear water. 10 out of 10. Definitely a must see.

Dream place. I love Achensee a lot. It is perfect in summer and winter. You have plenty of leisure options for every season: skiing, cross skiing, playing golf, hiking, sailing, swimming, windsurfing, paragliding or even sunrise yoga on top of the mountain Rofan. And all of this is just centered around Achensee. Apart from that there are the best Wellness hotels such as Alpenrose, where you can relax close by the lake. Restaurant like the Scholastika offer you the bestest food located by the water. I love the Austrian cuisine. There is plenty of more to tell but you need to come visit and experience it yourself!

The view of the lake is astonishing. Riding the bicycle along the lake was a very fun activity. We also found a small rope park near the west-northern shore that the kids loved, it is located near a small church. We saw lots of ducks in the lake 🙂🦆🦆🦆🥇. Plan a half day here, a great activity for the whole family.

Great nature and less people

Achensee, located near Innsbruck, Austria, is a picturesque lake steeped in history. Its origins trace back to the Ice Age, sculpted by glacial movement. Throughout history, it has been a significant resource for locals, providing fishing and transportation routes. In the 19th century, it gained prominence as a tourist destination, attracting artists and writers with its natural beauty. Today, Achensee continues to enchant visitors with its crystal-clear waters, surrounded by the stunning Tyrolean Alps, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and a cherished part of Austria's cultural heritage. I visited Achensee in spring, expecting mild weather, but was greeted by a blanket of snow instead. Despite the unexpected cold, the snowy landscape transformed the lake into a winter wonderland. The trees lining the shore were dusted with white, and the stillness of the lake enhanced the serene atmosphere. Walking along the snowy paths, I felt a sense of tranquility, with only the sound of my footsteps breaking the silence. It was a unique and enchanting experience, showcasing the lake's beauty in a different light.
