Burghausen Town Square

The historic town square is one of the most beautiful in Central Europe. Magnificent buildings preserve the flair of centuries past. The town square impresses not only with its picturesque architecture but also with a unique atmosphere that combines tradition and modernity.

In den Grüben – Burghausen's Street of Fame

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

"In den Grüben," with its colorful, mostly late-Gothic artisan houses, is largely a pedestrian zone. The street, which leads into the town square, is not only a popular meeting place but also a lively area for restaurants, arts, crafts, and shopping. Burghausen has hosted the International Jazz Week since 1970. To mark its thirtieth anniversary in 1999, decorative stones were set into the street's pavement in honor of the artists: the city's "Street of Fame." Jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Chris Barber, Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck, and Till Brönner have all performed in Burghausen. The stones bear the names, signatures, and dates of birth and death of the artists.

Burghausen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Burghausen Castle is one of the longest castles in the world, just over 1,000 meters long! And one of the most magnificent - its medieval, mighty bulwark was considered the strongest fortress in the country. So you can spend a lot of time here, if you want to take a look at the whole area. But it's worth it. Just the view from one of the five courtyards down to the city is a dream.

The castle also houses the Stadtmuseum Burghausen and the Haus der Fotografie (Dr. Robert Gerlich Museum).

Opening hours:
April to October 6: daily 9am to 6pm
October 7-March: every day 10 am to 4 pm

Entry:
4.5 euros (only castle), 9 euros (castle and museums)
Children (up to 18 years) pay 3.5 euros or 7 euros.

10.1 km

The narrow, stepped Schmallerl-Steig path is the shortest, albeit steepest, connection between the Acher district of Duttendorf and the Old Bridge over the Salzach River to Burghausen. From this romantic path, which is also part of the Upper Austrian Marien-Wanderweg (Mary's Trail), magnificent views of the Salzach River, the old town, and Burghausen Castle repeatedly offer themselves. The path climbs the approximately seventy-meter-high steep bank of the Salzach River just before the Salzach Gorge. As early as 1548, the Burghausen treasurer recorded expenses for equipping the "Schmalerl" with railings and steps.
