Achenkirch is full of delights
... as one of the two golf courts at lake Achensee is located on an attractive plateau nearby - the 9-hole court is ideal for beginners.
The access to lake Achensee is free for everyone but a bath in Achenkirch can be especially chilling as crystal clear mountain streams run into the lake. An espacially created promontory ensures unlimited bathing fun as the water is a bit warmer at this part of the lake. Achenkirch is also ideal for lots of other sports activities such as tennis, squash, horse back riding, sailing, windsurfing, inline skating, jogging, Nordic Walking, etc.
Agriculture still plays an important role in Achenkirch. At the musem Sixenhof farm, you have the opportunity to discover how farmers lived and worked earlier on. The farm made its first appereance in the chronicles in 1361. Altogether 19 rooms bring farming tools, a blacksmith, a shoemaker and a weaving mill back to life.
From 5-star hotels via certified family resorts to farm-stay holidays - the picturesque village at the northern shore of lake Achensee is ideal. Situated 930 m above sea level, the village covers an area leading to the German border. You can get there on toll-free roads within 15 min. Famous artists, especially writers like Ludwig Steub, Peter Rosegger or Ludwig Ganghofer, enjoyed the special atmosphere already at the turn of the last century. They made lake Achensee a popular holiday destination.
