ヴェーア湖のおすすめツーリングルート

The landmark that probably everyone who comes here knows.

The border between Germany and Austria is in the middle of the Salzach

The town hall was built in the 18th century by combining three originally separate residential plots. The western façade was redesigned as a unified structure after the merger. The core of the Gothic atrium dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, while the façade dates back to the 18th century. The building was inhabited by the noble Mautner family before being acquired by the town in 1439. The façade features the Burghausen town coat of arms, with the Bavarian heraldic symbols of diamonds and lions above it.

The Burghausen castle complex acquired its present character mainly between 1480 and 1503 during the Wittelsbach period, for whom it served as a state fortress and residence.

Wanghausen Castle is probably much older than its first documented mention in 1240. The four-story, plastered quarry stone building with a high gable roof, which acquired its present appearance in the 17th century, has a striking stepped gable on the east side, dating from the 19th century. The castle is privately owned; the interiors, with their Renaissance ceilings, cannot be visited. The many details of the facade are fascinating. The castle was once a knight's residence. Until 1779, the building, then still called Ach Castle, belonged to the castle and judicial district of Burghausen in Bavaria. Following the separation of the Innviertel region, it subsequently became Austrian.

The approach from Austria (Ettenau) is a bit tricky. It ends in a very steep ramp on a busy federal highway. So leave your bikes at the bottom or take a wide detour and enter the town square via the Laufen Gate. Have fun, visit the Ponlach Graben, the castle with its interesting museum, and the cafés on the town square and in the castle. The walk is worth it.

Bridge does not need to be used
