        Laufen, picturesquely situated on the Salzach River, benefits from a strategically advantageous location. The river's characteristic bend encircles the town, providing natural protection on three sides. This geographical feature has contributed not only to safety but also to economic development. In earlier times, the Salzach's rapids posed a challenge for boatmen. Salt barges coming from Hallein or Salzburg were forced to dock here, as the current made further progress impossible. To overcome the rapids, the goods, primarily salt, had to be manually unloaded. This was a laborious process, but it was precisely this circumstance that created jobs and gave Laufen an economic boost. The bustling activity along the banks of the Salzach allowed the inhabitants not only to focus on trade but also to develop a vibrant life around the river.
