Further spectacular views of Burghausen's historic center can be enjoyed from the viewing platform, a short walk further upstream (with a kiosk and restrooms).

After a short walk back, the Schmallerl-Steig path leads back down to the "Old Bridge".

The Catholic parish church of Maria Ach, originally built as a wooden church in 1354 and rebuilt as a stone building in 1404, is dedicated to the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1771, the pilgrimage church was expanded in the Rococo style to better accommodate the large number of pilgrims. The ceiling of the main hall is adorned with a fresco by Johann Nepomuk della Croce depicting the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It also dates from 1771. The Baroque west tower, with its pointed onion dome, is three years younger.

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.
