Photographer’s Note

Achensee is a lake located among the Tyrolean Alps about 35 km far away from Innsbruck, the main city of Tyrol region in Austria.
Situated at 929 meters above the sea level, the lake is 9 kms long, 1 km large and 133 meters deep.
The fascinating, varied mountainscape around Achensee lake attracts hikers and mountaineers alike.
The entire region boasts an infinite number of highlights and attractions for the whole family. In the summer of 1957, two hikers discovered a cave featuring Etruscan inscriptions in the Guffert area.
On the western shores of Achensee you find the Karwendel Alpine Park, one of Austria's oldest interconnected nature reserves covering two different countries.
