Travel guide Maurach
Welcome to Maurach
The holiday resort Maurach on Lake Achensee is located in
Tyrol and can be easily reached by car or public transport. By car, you have the choice between a toll-free journey via Bad Tölz, the Achenpass, or the toll-required Inntal motorway A12. If you prefer to travel by train to your private holiday home or apartment, take the train to Jenbach station and from there take a taxi or bus to your accommodation. The nearest airports are in
Innsbruck or Salzburg. Book a holiday accommodation or an apartment for families, for example on a farm, and spend a relaxing holiday in the beautiful region in the ski area.
This is the weather you can expect in a holiday apartment in Maurach
The charming holiday region of Maurach on Lake Achensee is located in the federal state of Tyrol and is a perfect travel destination all year round. The village belongs to the temperate climate zone and is characterized by moderately pronounced seasons. The best time to travel depends on how you want to spend your leisure time. From December to April, guests who want to enjoy a
ski holiday in Maurach with varied slopes are best catered for, while those who prefer cycling, hiking, or climbing should book a holiday apartment or an affordable holiday home from May to September. If you want to swim in Lake Achensee, July and August are the best months in summer. From the end of March, you can start your first spring hike in the lower areas of the Karwendel Mountains. A special highlight during this season is the picturesque alpine meadows where cows graze on the lush grass. In June, the summer season begins here, and all the high-altitude huts are open. Whether summer or winter - the holiday region offers a lot of fun for families with dogs and active holidaymakers on slopes in the ski area or hiking in the Ötztal past waterfalls.
Culinary delights are not neglected either
Eating and drinking are as much a part of a stay in a private holiday apartment or holiday home in Maurach in the
Tyrolean Unterland as a day of hiking during your
holiday in the mountains in Austria. Many farms produce bacon and cheese, which make excellent souvenirs. During a hike, you can treat yourself to a plate of bacon at an alpine hut, which tastes nowhere better than here. But of course, the evening in the restaurant also has a lot to offer: Whether regional fish, meat, or cheese specialties, dumplings or Kaiserschmarrn and pastries, the regional cuisine is always something special. If you want to try your hand in the kitchen of your holiday home or apartment, you can buy regional products at the farmers' markets. And there is plenty of choice when it comes to drinks: a cold beer, homemade elderberry juice, a tea with mountain herbs, or a stone pine schnapps? All drinks are worth trying. Whether in fine gourmet restaurants, down-to-earth inns, or in the huts, the culinary art of the federal state relies on local ingredients and full flavor. Is there anything better than ending an extensive hike in a schnapps distillery, for example in the Edelbrennerei Kostenzer, or in a cheese dairy? We don't think so.
Attractive excursion destinations and sights in Maurach
Maurach is part of the municipality of Eben am Achensee and is nestled in the beautiful mountain landscape of the Rofan and Karwendel mountains in the middle of the Alps. Thanks to the picturesque surroundings, including the two ski areas Zwölferkopf and Rofan, Maurach is a popular travel destination.

Inntal to Lake Achensee, the steam cog railway covers about 400 meters of altitude on approximately seven kilometers. A worthwhile attraction is the Notburga pilgrimage church. In the Notburga Museum in Eben/Maurach, you can learn all about the Tyrolean folk saint, the simple maid Notburga, who in the 13th century did not let her hard-hearted employers deter her from helping the poor and weak.
