Hochburg-Ach

The Salzach shapes the setting of Hochburg-Ach — along this stretch it marks the Austrian-German border, with Bavaria and Burghausen on the opposite bank. The municipality lies in Upper Austria’s Innviertel, where cultivated rolling hills meet the river plain rather than the country’s Alpine core. Salt once travelled along the Salzach from the Salzburg area, making the river a historic commercial route as well as a boundary. Across the water, Burghausen Castle recalls the strategic importance of this frontier; its long complex dominates the Bavarian town above the river. Hochburg-Ach is a quieter cross-border corner of the Salzach valley. Move on to other webcams in Upper Austria to compare landscapes and settings around the Innviertel.
