Eben am Achensee

By · Tyrolen, 🇦🇹 Österrike

Eben am Achensee is a village at the southern end of the Achensee, the largest lake in Tyrol, between the Karwendel and Rofan mountains. The region is called the Achensee holiday region, and the lake villages of Pertisau, Maurach and Achenkirch are all part of it.

The lake is deep blue and good for swimming, sailing and windsurfing. The village is quiet, and a base for hiking, cycling and gentle skiing.

Eben am Achensee's Absolute Essentials

Eben am Achensee serves as the gateway to Tyrol’s largest lake, the Achensee, often referred to as the 'Fjord of the Alps' due to its steep mountain backdrop. The region provides access to two major mountain ranges, the Karwendel and the Rofan, both reachable via dedicated cable cars. Visitors can explore the 60-meter Dalfazer Waterfall or take in 360-degree views from the Adlerhorst viewing platform. The area is a hub for high-altitude hiking, windsurfing, and exploring the alpine border at the Schafreuter peak.

Historia

Eben grew around a pilgrimage site for Saint Notburga, who lived nearby in the 13th century. The Achensee area was a route for farmers and traders. The steam cog railway opened in 1889 and helped turn the lake into a holiday area.
