Geographical location and municipal area

The municipality of Achenkirch consists of several scattered villages in the Achental (Achenkirch, Achensee, Achental and Achenwald) and stretches from the northern tip of Lake Achensee to the Achenpass on the Bavarian border.

Achenkirch has a share of the Achensee as the northern neighbor. This was originally drained by the Seeache to the north to the Isar. In 1929 the outflow of the Achensee was blocked; since then it has drained via the Achensee power plant in Jenbach, which was built between 1924 and 1927.

The municipal area also includes the former customs station Scholastika (once important for the transport of salt; today a hotel with its own pier); as well as the site of the former Achenseehof, a retirement home that no longer exists for the singer Ludwig Rainer (1821-1893), today a lido with a chapel and its own landing stage.
