Day 11 - Seefeld, Austria
If you are looking to learn more about the landscape you've just entered, consider joining our Austrian Afternoon tour. On this optional tour, you'll take a ride on an open-air, narrow-gauge cog train built in 1888. This nostalgic train will deliver you to the shore of Achensee Lake, the largest lake in Tyrol and one noted for its incredibly clean and deep blue water. You will take a ferry to Scholastica, perched along the lake's northern shore. After a short walk along the lake, you'll enjoy a traditional Tyrolean dinner featuring local flavors. Return to Seefeld this evening.
Dinner is on your own for those travelers not participating in the optional tour. |

Optional Austrian Afternoon tour
Set off on a walking tour of Seefeld after breakfast. A Tyrolean town founded as a farming settlement in 1022, Seefeld offers Old World Germanic charm and a landscape of snowy mountains, wooden church spires, and the Karwendel Nature Reserve. Lunch is on your own, but you won't have any difficulty finding somewhere to sit in one of the many cozy taverns available. Perhaps you'll taste the regional specialty of speck, a smoked ham with a rich and salty flavor.
