Achensee, Austria. Is Achensee the prettiest alpine lake & outdoor paradise near Munich & Innsbruck? 

Join us for Achensee Lake, in Austria. This gorgeous alpine lake hides in the alps in Austria’s Tirol region. Found between Munich, Germany and Innsbruck, Austria, the Achensee is a clear, turquoise lake, and undeniable jewel, known for paragliding, wind and kite surfing, and serious mountain biking. In this video we try to find out it’s the perfect outdoor paradise for less extreme sports enthusiasts, too.
We stayed in the village of Achenkirch, at the quiet end of the lake and did stand up paddle boards SUP, electric bikes or e-bikes, electric boats or e-boats and lots of hiking in Karwendel park. Susanne teaches us how to make her famous plum cake or Zwetschgenkuchen, a traditional cake from this region. In Achenkirch, we have dinner at Martin’s Bistro where they elevate a Austrian and Bavarian speciality called Steckerlfish, to a whole other level. Steckerlfish is a whole trout on a stick grilled over a wood fire traditionally served in beer gardens and at Octoberfest.
We also visit Innsbruck, Austria and Munich, Germany. In Innsbruck we eat an amazing version of Doner Kepab, made from turkey and veal at MISs Kepab.
