The region’s classic

Tirolean shale oil
“Black gold”, as Tirolean shale oil is often called, is inseparable with Achensee. The oil shale required to extract shale oil is still mined in Bächental today. The product, whose healing powers have long been proven, is used by those who live in the region.
