Below the world's longest castle lies an enchanting treasure: the emerald green and beautifully situated historic Wöhrseebad. Once you've been there, you'll definitely want to go back. To where you can jump into the fresh water from the whale-back-wide wooden jetty, where you'll want to keep looking up while swimming, up to the truly endless castle. Where you can lie on the expansive green lawn, read and count the clouds. Where you can walk through the historic bathing complex, on wooden jetties, past ancient changing rooms. And be transported to another time, when soldiers learned to swim here in the 19th century and nuns and monks bathed separately at the beginning of the 20th century.

View of Burghausen Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

West of the world's longest castle and Wöhrsee, located on the Eggenberg, the Powder Tower with its mighty, defensive character catches the eye from afar.

A battlement connected the castle complex with the exposed Vorwerk built around 1488. It served with its six gun positions to defend the castle and was therefore built in front of it. Guns and powder were stored in the tower in case of defense.

Just before the historic gate
is a mini golf course with a wonderful little beer garden and reasonable prices.

Wöhrsee Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge over the Wöhrsee between Hauptsee and Herzogbad is the only way to cross the Wöhrsee.

It was renovated in April 2024. During the construction work, the entire bridge, including the concrete foundations and lock, was dismantled and renewed. The wooden girders were replaced with steel girders so that rotting wood will no longer be a problem in the future.

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.
