Stairway to Duttendorfer Viewpoint

Highlight • Trail

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.

View of Burghausen from the Old Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since the late Middle Ages, this view has been offered to all travelers coming to Burghausen from the east. They no longer had to cross the Salzach by boat, but could use the bridge, first mentioned in 1272.

Burghausen Town Square

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Burghausen Town Square

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Church Square with Marian Column (St. Jakob Parish Church, Upper Bavaria)

Highlight • Religious Site

The square around the parish church of St. James was probably once a marketplace. A cemetery near the church was first mentioned in 1335. Burials took place here until 1804. From 1402 to 1804, a chapel stood parallel to the church on the church square. In 1855, the Marian column made of Untersberg marble with a cast-iron statue was erected.

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.

Holy Spirit Hospital and Holy Spirit Church, Burghausen

Highlight • Religious Site

The Holy Spirit Hospital, with its Holy Spirit Church, is a former hospital in the old town of Burghausen. It now serves as a church meeting center and a BRK retirement home. Between 1319 and 1332, Friedrich der Mautner and his brother-in-law Konrad Ermreich founded a hospital building with a church and cemetery outside the city gates for the sick and needy. The hospital existed here until 1956 and was replaced by a new building on the banks of the Salzach River. Afterward, the building served as an episcopal seminary and, since 1993, as the church meeting center "Haus der Begegnung Heilig Geist" (House of Encounter Holy Spirit).

Salzach Riverside Path (Burghausen)

Highlight • Trail

I walk here almost every day with my dog, unless there is high water. With beautiful views of Austria, the castle or Marienberg, the path is a good way to get to Raitenhaslach or Burghausen's old town in a relaxed manner. There are a few benches and, depending on the water level, gravel banks too.
