Burghausen History

We saw a reenactment at "our" castle Sunday afternoon.  It was done at the end (main) castle. Since it was in German, we only got part of the story.  It appeared to be mostly about the time in history that Napolian and his troops came through Burghausen chasing the Austrians.  The locals say that the visit gave them a "claim to fame," but also say that it was a really tough time here.  The soldiers clean them out of food and supplies then left them in near starvation before exiting across a temporary bridge they built over the Salzach River into Austria.

 I was wanting some better shots than this, but Billy (who is NOT a history buff) was wanting to get in some more bike riding before the sun set. On the way out there was a girl sitting on the grass by a moat playing a lyre type of instrument and singing. It was very pretty!
