Tips

A bridge over the Salzach at this location was first mentioned in 1272. Even after that, salt from Hallein continued to be transported here by boat, but was only permitted to be landed and paid customs duties in Burghausen. The salt toll made the town and the Wittelsbach dynasty, who ruled here, wealthy in the late Middle Ages. The Old Bridge connected Burghausen with Hochburg-Ach, which belonged to the town, on the opposite bank. Only after the Innviertel region—all areas east of the Salzach and Inn rivers—was ceded to Austria in 1779 following the War of the Bavarian Succession did Hochburg-Ach develop its independence. Following devastating floods in 1959, the Old Bridge was rebuilt and opened to traffic on August 23, 1963. It was extensively renovated in 2000 and 2025.

A beautiful little old town bridge over the Salzach with a view of Burghauser Castle and old town, the Salzach and Ach.

The Bruckgasse leads to the Old Bridge and this over the Salzach, which has been the border river between Bavaria and the Innviertel, which had become Austrian at the time, since 1779. To the left of the Pachler Inn, the path leads relatively steeply up the Salzach slope.
