The old ducal city of Burghausen is the largest city in the Upper Bavarian district of Altötting. It is located on the Salzach, which forms the border with Austria. On a ridge above the old town, the castle extends to Burghausen, which is 1,051 meters long, the longest castle in Europe.
The “Free State of Bavaria” is renowned for being culturally unique and for the emphasis which it places on preserving its heritage and traditions. It is also extraordinarily beautiful, boasting a plethora of castles, palaces, cathedrals, abbeys and monasteries not to mention spectacular scenery. Bavaria is more than Alps, men in “lederhosen” (leather pants), women in “dirndl” (traditional dresses) and frothy glasses of beer by the “maβ” (liter).
