Take the regional bus (line 4080 or 390; to reach the Rofan cable car also line 8332) to the Atoll Achensee leisure centre in Maurach. Get off at the bus stops Maurach (Eben am Achensee) Atoll Achensee or Maurach (Eben am Achensee) Rofan Seilbahn.
Access is via the Achensee main road (B181) to Maurach. Both Atoll Achensee in the Buchau district and the Rofan Cable Car valley station are located directly on the main road. As the Geo.Weg Achensee can be walked in both directions, there are two possible starting points. Parking is available at Atoll Achensee and the Rofan Cable Car valley station (parking charges apply at both).
Starting at Atoll Achensee:
From the car park, walk through the underpass and uphill towards the Rofangarten district. At the end of the road, turn right and then left after about 200 metres. The Geo.Weg Achensee begins a short distance further on. The walk to the start of the trail is about 800 metres and takes around 15 minutes.
Starting at the Rofan Cable Car:
From the valley station, follow the signs towards Erfurter Hütte. The path leads past Naturhotel Alpenblick to a wooden bridge. Turn left and follow the signs for "Geo.Weg Achensee". The first information board is reached shortly afterwards.
