On our historical travel through Germany down to the Balkans, we have decided to pay attention to one of the largest castle complexes in the world. On our travels through historical sites of Deutschland we decided to pay attention to Burghausen, which is by written accounts the longest castle in the world. Indeed it looks amazing! Situated on the low level ridge, the entire complex consist of 5 different parts, each and every one secured by the heavily defended gates - preserved defences can still be seen such as murder holes, one man entrance...Castle gates were usually the weakest part in the circuit of defence therefore they were most heavily defended. When we were passing the way to the end of the ridge to the main complex, we had a feeling walking from a castle to a castle. It is one of the most extensive castles in Europe. The town is named "Burg" which is the German name for the castle.

It is defintetly the very gothic, the very medieval chapel, and must be one of the most beautiful pieces of late gothic architecture in the area. From there the very fine view is opening towards the old part of the town and it stands out of the castle complex.

Having known the Grueben, as a little girl back then, being dark, old, crumbling and affected by flooding of the Salzach river, it was so nice to see this beautiful part of the "old town" of Burghausen restored so nicely. All the facades are now looking fresh and clean and bright, especially on a nice, sunny summer day. There are now many nice boutique like shops with handcrafted things, even a "Schnapps" distillery with some pretty unique brands. And while you walk down the alley have a look down and read the brass plaques of all the famous jazz musicians who came to Burghausen for the now well known Burghauser Jazz Week.
