Achensee and Pertisau

We drove on to the Achensee, a very green sheet of water set in the mountains. There were a lot of people out on Sunday afternoon and the lake was very active. There were a lot of sailboats, many rowboats and the regular lake steamer on the lake. Many folks were sunbathing or picnicing along the bank. We drove along the east bank sas far as we could and then along the west bank to Pertisau. Pertisau was the center of activity, it being something of a tourist trap, and it was seething with people. We parked and had a very pleasant walk around the village. June 18, 1967
