Burghausen Travel Guide: 19 reviews and 31 photos

one of the inner courts of the Burg - Burghausen

A pearl at the Salzach

Many famous castles consist of not much more than a tower and a wall around it, all together about maybe 30 meters in diameter but this here is one km and 43 meters long above a much smaller old city. The modern Burghausen of course is much bigger than that and mostly north of it and well known for its chemical industries.

An interesting small page about one more wonderful town in Bavaria! Thanks Anna for sharing! Altstadt seems to be very picturesque.

Burghausen ist wirklich sehr schön, und es lässt sich so einfach verbinden mit einem meeting in F*, einem Ort dessen Namen ich nie aussprechen würde in Gegenwart einer Dame ;~)

Nice start on your new page. A colleague of mine used to live in Burghausen, and loved it.
