Leaving Burghausen, you have the opportunity to see the castle in full once. A good two kilometres further on, the route flanked by trees gives you a beautiful view into the valley of the Salzach.

Meadows and fields, villages with churches and tiled roof houses dominate the picture. From about Asten onwards, the alpine mountains can be seen more and more clearly in the distance.

You pass the Astener Moossee lake and shortly afterwards arrive at the Leitgeringer See lake. An ideal place for a break.

The route continues to Tittmoning on the "Salzhandelsweg" (Salzh) cycle path.

Lake Leitgering is located about three kilometres north of Tittmoning. The main attraction in summer is the bathing area with sandy beach and sunbathing lawns. The diving board and slide provide special fun. The little ones can also let off steam on a playground and the older ones on pedal boats and stand-up paddleboards. The natural bathing lake is strongly bent and surrounded by a belt of trees. You can always find a shady spot for a picnic. There is also a restaurant with a beer garden at the bathing area.

The towering fortress that now comes into view is Tittmoning Castle. The last stretch of the path into the town leads steeply downhill.

On a geographically favourable hill, directly on the Ponlachgraben, the medieval castle towers above the town. Its strategic location on the spur and a deep moat made it difficult to conquer. The castle once served as the summer residence of the Salzburg bishops. During its 800-year history, it changed hands several times. In 1816, Tittmoning and its fortress finally fell to Bavaria. Today the castle houses a local history museum and a tannery exhibition.

On the way back to Burghausen, the route now goes directly along the Salzach. You will pass through a romantic river landscape with lots of greenery and beautiful photo opportunities.
There are hardly any gradients or ascents. Only shortly before the hill in Raitenhaslach do you have to pedal harder again. The impressive monastery complex lies in a loop of the Salzach and can be seen from far away.

The former monastery is considered a Baroque jewel at the gates of Burghausen. In 1146, Cistercian monks founded their first monastery in Old Bavaria here. Today, the buildings are largely used and administered by the TU Munich. A visit to the monastery church, which is over 800 years old and combines various architectural styles, is highly recommended: the original Romanesque church was rebuilt several times and the interiors are exceptionally splendidly furnished in the Rococo style.

Near the monastery there is the Klostergasthof Raitenhaslach (Raitenhaslach 9, 84489 Burghausen, Tel. 08677 9730), which is said to be one of the most beautiful in Bavaria. In addition to the restaurant, there is also a brewery. Here you can fortify yourself before heading back to Burghausen.
