The nostalgia ticket: two steam railways & boat trip
A nostalgic trip on the Zillertal Steam Railway and the over 120-year-old Achensee Steam Cog Railway plus an Achensee boat cruise all rolled into one! If you love nature and want to experience the “Fjord of the Alps” you will love this day out, no matter if you are one or one hundred years of age ...
Steam Cog Railway, art & culture
At an altitude of 1400m a pre-Christian water sanctuary was discovered in the Rofan mountain range near the Guffert mountain. The cave bears Etruscan inscriptions and has been dazzling its visitors ever since it was found by two hikers in 1957.
Take the Steam Cog Railway to Maurach and enjoy a leisurely hike to the Rofan Cable Car.
