Lakeside Furs (LSF)

What Are the Highlights of Lakeside Furs?

• Week-long format: LSF runs longer than most regional furry events.
• Nature-first identity: Swimming, hikes, sightseeing, and relaxed social time are central to the event.
• Austrian retreat angle: It fills a niche that larger German-speaking cons do not.
• Stable recurring brand: The event has been around long enough to build real history and multiple venue eras.

How Do I Get to Lakeside Furs?

• Flying: Innsbruck Airport (INN) and Munich Airport (MUC) are the most practical airport anchors depending on your route.
• Rail and road: Tyrol is well connected by train, but the final leg into Achenkirch usually still needs planning.
• Destination logistics: Because this is a week-long retreat event, travel planning matters more than it would for a two-day city con.

Where Should I Stay for Lakeside Furs?

• Karlingerhof base: The recent Achenkirch editions use Karlingerhof, a group-housing setup near Lake Achensee.
• Small-capacity feel: Third-party coverage pegged the venue around 69 people, which explains why the event feels intentionally intimate.
• Longer stay math: Lakeside Furs is built around living on-site for the full week, not dropping in for one day.
