Located on the southern shore of Lake Achensee, Maurach is all about the unique Achensee nature experience. One of the most popular bathing spots, especially for families, is the Buchau bathing beach, which offers pleasant water temperatures (for Lake Achensee) of around 22 degrees and is particularly inviting thanks to its gently sloping shore. The sprawling village, which also serves as the region's school center, has been the terminus or destination of the historic Achensee steam cog railroad for almost 120 years. This railroad, the oldest of its kind in Europe, climbs an impressive 440 meters in altitude over almost seven kilometers from Jenbach in the Inntal valley to Lake Achensee.
The magic of Lake Achensee stands in thrilling contrast to the blooming summer meadows. The Rofan mountains attract holidaymakers with the popular Rofan cable car, which takes guests up to the mountain station at over 1,840 meters above sea level in just 5 minutes. The numerous attractions include the "Adlerhorst" viewing platform and the spectacular Skyglider Airrofan, which gives you the opportunity to experience the breathtaking landscape from an eagle's perspective. The eagle here symbolizes the striking rocks - climbers appreciate the Rofan Mountains as a real insider tip for routes of all levels of difficulty. Paragliding is also a popular activity in Maurach to experience Lake Achensee from a bird's eye view and enjoy the colorful hustle and bustle on the lake. If you don't feel up to it, you can also enjoy a bird's eye view of Lake Achensee with the Livecam in Maurach.
