Wasserburg am Inn

The historic center of Wasserburg lies on a natural peninsula formed by the curving Inn River, surrounded by water on three sides.

During the Middle Ages, Wasserburg controlled the only bridge crossing the Inn River for 30 kilometers, making it central to salt trade routes.

The town center features numerous Gothic buildings with painted facades, reflecting the architectural heritage of medieval Bavarian merchants.

Modern Wasserburg serves as an economic center in northern Rosenheim district, with shops, services, and international companies in its surroundings.

The town functioned as Munich's main port until the 17th century, handling salt shipments from Berchtesgaden and Bad Reichenhall mines.
