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. In summer, the Rofan cable car takes you to an altitude of over 1,800 m, from where you can choose between various hiking trails. Also very popular in the warm months are trips with the Achensee shipping and the Achensee railway, both attractions have a stop in Maurach. From Jenbach in the 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. At the Edelbrennerei Franz Kostenzer, you can learn about the production of fine spirits. The distillery offers around 70 schnapps and liqueurs. Another popular excursion destination is the museum village "Achenseer Museumswelt". In the museum world, you get an interesting insight into the former living and working conditions around Lake Achensee and the local customs. Or how about a visit to the beautiful village of Pertisau, from which the famous Tyrolean stone oil originates. A recommendation is also the excursion to neighboring towns or to Innsbruck, Wiesing, Kitzbühel, and Pertisau. Book a holiday accommodation or an apartment in the holiday resort now and spend a relaxing holiday in the region with your family and possibly a dog.
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.
