Oh Achensee! We love losing our hearts to you a thousand times over. But not our nerves when it comes to planning your vacation ;) So here is our FAQ, the most important information about your Acherl vacation at a glance. And if you have any further questions, please write to info@acherl.at or call us on +43 5246 20317.
By train
Achenkirch am Achensee is not badly connected by train! We would be delighted if you would leave your car at home for the sake of the environment and travel by public transport.
From Munich main station, for example, take the regional train to Tegernsee and from there the bus in the direction of Pertisau, getting off at the "Achenkirch Abzw. Achensee" stop.
Or take the train from Salzburg main station to Jenbach, then the bus to Maurach and from Maurach take the bus to our bus stop "Achenkirch Abzw. Achensee".

You love Lake Achensee and the surrounding mountains as much as we do, and that's why we believe that you can help us to protect our nature. For example like this:
Always take your trash back with you, or at least to the nearest trash can.
Only take as much from the buffet as you can actually eat. It's better to take smaller portions and go for a second helping as often as you like.
Bring your own flip-flops for the wellness area.
Use your hand and shower towels multiple times and simply hang them up on the hooks in the bathroom. We only change towels that are on the floor.
You can also reuse the sauna towels. For sauna visits, we have small seat towels that you can change after each session.
Occasionally skip a room cleaning during your stay.
Travel to Acherl by bus or train.
Refresh yourself with our wonderfully clear mountain water! In your room, you'll find a carafe and glasses. There's no need for far-travelled mineral water, especially in plastic bottles.
Double check! When you're out by the lake or in the mountains, please don't leave any trash behind in nature. There are plenty of trash bins throughout the valley for disposal.

Dogs are not allowed on the bed or upholstered furniture, thank you!
Please only leave your dog alone in the room if they are well-behaved. If so, please hang the “Do Not Disturb” sign outside your door. If you'd still like your room to be cleaned, please come to the reception so we can arrange a suitable time.
Around Acherl, you’ll find great hiking trails and meadows for your dog to run around. For leash and muzzle regulations within the municipality of Achenkirch, please check here. Please be mindful of livestock and any related notices. The "forgotten" dog code can be fatal with cows.
