Mariensteig Trail Along Lake Achensee

Beautiful hike for those with a head for heights. Top stop at the Gaisalm. Return by boat to Achenkirch possible

A beautiful hiking trail from Pertisau to Achenkirch, or the other way around😊 The trail leads directly above the lake 👍 Pack your swimming trunks, there are some small bays where you can swim👍😊👍

You don't have to go to Italy or another southern country to go hiking by the sea. The hiking trail from Achenkirch to Gaisalm and further to Pertisau offers exactly this idyll - a rocky and narrow path right by Lake Achensee that looks like a sea.The "Mariensteig" has been awarded the "Tyrolean Mountain Trail with distinction" award because of its special scenic beauty, views and flora.
This path is very narrow and very exposed in places. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are absolutely essential!
