There is a very good network of buses which link Buchau with Achenkirch , Steinberg am Rofan , Maurach, Wiesing and Pertisau , some meaning a change of bus at Maurach. You can find a link to the bus information website on the main Achensee page .
Catch the bus from Achenkirch, Maurach or Pertisau to Buchau. The bus will pull into the swimming pool at Buchau to stop, and this is also a nice area if you wish to have a swim after a workout, or just on your day off.
The track here has stunning views across the lake to Pertisau and has some gentle ups and downs on the loop which are excellent for beginners to move up to, and skaters to practice without too much of an incline. The route runs north of the lake, passed the pool and turns at the end of the meadow and from there, returns to the starting point.
The route starts in the field opposite Hotel Huber Hochland and runs to the parish Church of St. Notburga and back. It is an easy trail, quick is quiet and ideal for beginners of classic skiing.
