Vacation in Maurach

Located on the south side of the well-known Achensee, relaxation seekers in Maurach enjoy the special atmosphere of this place in both summer and winter. Together with Eben, Pertisau, and Buchau, the village of Maurach is located in the Achental, on the south side of the popular Tyrolean Achensee, which is suitable for a variety of activities.

A visit to the Notburga pilgrimage church is highly recommended. Notburga was a simple maid who lived in the 13th century and dedicated herself to the poor and weak. Even her harsh employers could not deter her from her faith, and for this reason, she is now one of the most popular Tyrolean folk saints. Visitors can also learn a lot about her life in the Notburga Museum in Eben/Maurach, where her special significance as the patron saint of the poor, farmers, maids, and traditional costume wearers is also expressed. Those who want to learn about the production of fine spirits should visit the Edelbrennerei Franz Kostenzer. The distillery's range includes around 70 liqueurs or schnapps, and there is also the opportunity to participate in seminars or tours. Local customs and the living and working conditions around the Achensee area are the focus of the Achenseer Museumswelt. The museum visit is rounded off by information about local institutions and associations.

In the cold season, guests in Maurach are thrilled by the winter Achensee and the extensive snowfields, and skiers and snowboarders also get their money's worth in the Rofan Mountains ski area.
