The history of the bridge in Altach is a fascinating example of infrastructure development that creates crucial connections between communities. For centuries, this bridge was the only link between Oberndorf and Laufen, and also the only crossing over the Salzach River between Salzburg and Tittmoning. The bridge has weathered many floods, which repeatedly destroyed it. Between 1901 and 1903, a new bridge was finally built to meet the needs of the time. In 2006, the construction of the Europasteg bridge marked another step in continuing this historic bridge tradition. The modern footbridge, designed with a length of 131.20 meters, runs slightly offset from the old bridge, offering an interesting perspective on the region's history. At low water, the remains of the old wooden bridge piers are even visible, testifying to the bridge's long construction history and humanity's resilience in the face of natural forces. This new footbridge stands not only as an architectural masterpiece but also as a symbol of the connection and unity between the two banks and the communities they serve.

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.

Beautiful hiking trails

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.

Great route here.
