From castle to castle between Burghausen and Tittmoning

Key facts of the tour
Part of this tour runs along the medieval salt trade route, which led from Hallein in Austria across the Salzach river to the foothills of the Alps in Upper Bavaria. A highlight awaits you at the start in Burghausen: the town's fortress stretches over a length of 1043 metres. That is a world record. Most of the buildings were erected at the end of the 15th century by the Wittelsbach dynasty, who used the castle as a residence and state fortress. Today, everyone can enjoy the view of Burghausen and the Salzach from up there.

The castle in Tittmoning, with its more than 800 years of history, is much smaller but still impressive. On the way there, the Leitgeringer See lake invites you to refresh yourself or take a break in the beer garden. You cycle back to Burghausen directly along the banks of the Salzach. A stop at the former Raitenhaslach monastery is worthwhile. Here you will also find another nice place to stop for refreshments.
