From the churchyard, which is situated at a considerable height, there is a good view of the Chiemgau Alps. At least when visibility is clear, the contours of the mountain peaks stand out distinctly against the horizon.

The most outstanding building in the market town of Buchbach and also an important landmark in the surrounding area is the Church of St. James the Elder. In its late Baroque form, still visible today, the church was built from 1764-1766 after the great town fire of 1762 according to the plans of the Salzburg court building director Wolfgang Hagenauer. The polygonal floor plan of the central building is interesting in itself. The rich furnishings are even more impressive. The masonry dome is completely painted with the ceiling fresco of the "Great Heavenly Host with the Trinity and Mary". It is the most extensive work by the painter Balthasar Mang, who ran his workshop in Buchbach from 1754 onwards.

The bridge is finished and even has a bike path (with pedestrians). However, it doesn't run all the way along the B15; it's better to use side roads.
