We always love to visit this monastery because we do first working in the nature, make a tour around monastery and then go to restaurant. It's really good for family day tour.
(Translated by Google) Remotely located and a beautiful place for celebrations or just to relax. The church is a dream and you can only be amazed at how magnificent it is. You come in and you're just amazed (Original) Abseits gelegen und wunderschöner Ort für Feierlichkeiten oder einfach nur zum Ausruhen. Die Kirche ist ein Traum und man kann nur staunen wie prunkvoll sie ist. Man kommt rein und ist nur am staunen
(Translated by Google) We were there for 4 days, it was a gift. The complex is very beautiful, you can discover a lot and take long walks. The hotel makes a rustic impression, it was clean and well-kept, the rooms themselves were also in a decent condition. There is also an inn in the complex that I really liked, the food was sensational and the service was top notch. (Original) Wir waren für 4 Tage dort, es war ein Geschenk . Die Anlage ist sehr schön, man kann sehr viel entdecken und ausgiebige Spaziergänge machen. Das Hotel macht einen urigen Eindruck, es war sauber und gepflegt, die Zimmer selbst waren auch in einem ordentlichen Zustand. In der Anlage befindet sich ja auch ein Gasthof der mir sehr gut gefallen hat, das Essen war sensationell und auch die Bedienungen Top.
(Translated by Google) The 12th-century Reitenhaslach Monastery is a wonderful gem near Burghausen. Most visitors probably only go to the monastery restaurant, overlooking the very impressive monastery complex. Therefore, here are a few pictures, including of the beautiful church with its huge, beautiful, colorful murals. A very nice kindergarten teacher also pointed out the original cloisters and excavations. At daycare, the children even showed us a piece of end grain from an oak tree that was about 200 years old; the tree must have once stood in the monastery garden. Thank you very much. And finally, a few impressions of the monastery restaurant, which, with its beautiful, rustic old dining rooms, is a great place to recharge after the tour. By the way, the grilled zander and the sweet little venison were cooked to perfection and wonderful. (Original) Das Kloster Reitenhaslach aus dem 12. Jahrhundert ist ein wunderbares Kleinod nahe Burghausen. Die Besucher gehen wohl meistens nur in die Klostergaststätte und übersehen dabei die sehr beindruckende Klosteranlage. Deswegen hier ein paar Bilder u.a. von der wunderschönen Kirche mit den riesigen schönen farbigen Wandbildern. Eine sehr nette Kindergarten-Dame hat uns auch noch auf die ursprünglichen Kreuzgänge und Ausgrabungen aufmerksam gemacht. In der Kita haben uns die Kinder sogar einen ca. 200 Jahren alts Hirnholz einer Eiche gezeigt, der Baum hat wohl mal im Klostergarten gestanden. Vielen Dank. Und zuletzt noch ein paar Eindrücke vom Klosterrestaurant, das man nach der Besichtigung zur Stärkung gut brauchen kann mit seinen schönen urigen alten Gasträumen. Übrigens waren der gegrillte Zander und die süßen kleinen Reherl auf den Punkt gegart und wunderbar.
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, time-honored, well-maintained and renovated monastery complex. In addition to the associated monastery church, it is a beautiful and interesting place that is worth a visit. You will discover wonderful places to linger on site and with beautiful views of the Salzach. (Original) Sehr schöne altehrwürdige gepflegte und renovierte Klosteranlage. Neben der dazugehörigen Klosterkirche ein schöner und sehenswürdiger Ort der einen Besuch wert ist. Man entdeckt vor Ort wundervolle Plätze zum verweilen und mit schöner Aussicht auf die Salzach.
(Translated by Google) As a wedding photographer, I covered a civil wedding here and was blown away. This venue has so many beautiful areas, it's hard to choose. (Original) Als Hochzeitsfotograf habe ich hier eine Standesamtliche Hochzeit begleitet und war hin und weg. Diese Location hat so viele wunderschöne Bereiche, man kann sich kaum entscheiden.
(Translated by Google) Not exactly my taste. But certainly very nice for all religious people. I think more of all the people who built it with all the pomp. For me it is rather very strange (Original) Nicht gerade mein Geschmack. Aber für alle religiösen Menschen sicherlich sehr schön. Ich denke eher an all die Menschen die das aufgebaut haben mit all dem Prunk. Für mich ist es eher sehr befremdlich
(Translated by Google) The monastery church, like the entire complex, is very impressive. However, there must have been a service shortly beforehand, because the air in the church was still quite thick with incense, so the best had to turn around again straight away. I took some nice pictures for her. So if you drive past it, you should definitely take a look. (Original) Die Klosterkirche, wie auch die gesamte Anlage, ist schon sehr eindrucksvoll. Allerdings muss kurz vorher ein Gottesdienst gewesen sein, denn die Luft in der Kirche war noch ziemlich Weihrauch geschwängert, so dass die Beste gleich wieder umdrehen musste. Dafür habe ich für sie ein paar schöne Bilder geschossen. Also, wer daran vorbei fährt, sollte unbedingt mal einen Blick rein werfen.

(Translated by Google) What a surprise! We went by to find out when and with what documents we could register our move to Burgkirchen, and after a quarter of an hour we came out of the town hall with changed identity cards and completed re-registration. Friendly and courteous people, from reception at the gate and in the registration office. Thanks! (Original) Welch eine Überraschung! Wir gingen vorbei, um uns mal so zu erkundigen, wann wir denn und mit welchen Unterlagen unseren Zuzug nach Burgkirchen aktenkundig machen können, und kamen nach einer Viertelstunde mit geänderten Personalausweisen und vollzogener Ummeldung aus dem Rathaus. Freundliche und zuvorkommende Menschen, vom Empfang an der Pforte und im Einwohnermeldeamt. Danke!
(Translated by Google) Unfriendly and not really helpful. You say what you want and the next time you come back you have to hear that it is not your job to advise the citizen if he has not asked a detailed question. It was about a specific topic. They should have informed me about all the details without asking, instead of then blaming me for not asking for details. Residents' registration office, very bad experiences. Things were much better in Garching an der Alz. (Original) Unfreundlich und helfen nicht wirklich weiter. Man sagt was man will und wenn man das nächste Mal wieder kommt, muss man sich anhören, dass es nicht ihre Aufgabe sei, den Bürger zu beraten, wenn er eine Detailfrage nicht gestellt hatte. Dabei ging es um ein bestimmtes Thema. Sie hätten mich zu allen Details ungefragt informieren sollen, anstatt mir dann die Schuld zu geben, weil ich Details nicht gefragt hatte. Einwohnermeldeamt, sehr schlechte Erfahrungen. In Garching an der Alz war es viel besser.
(Translated by Google) Great employees, happy to help and competent, thank you very much ☺️ (Original) Tolle Mitarbeiter, helfen gerne und kompetent weiter, vielen Dank ☺️

(Translated by Google) Very nice photo museum with many exhibits (Original) Sehr schönes Fotomuseum mit vielen Ausstellungsstücken
(Translated by Google) Nice place to visit (Original) Lepo mesto za obilazak
(Translated by Google) Well done. Old cameras with "chimneys". Really interesting and lots of exciting things to discover. Some small cameras make you think of James Bond. (Original) Super gemacht. Alte Kameras mit "Schornsteinen". Echt interessant und viel Spannendes zu entdecken. Bei manchen kleinen Kameras denkt man an James Bond.
(Translated by Google) Very nice museum. You go on a journey through time from the beginnings of photography to the 1980s. The special exhibition MOUNTAINS was also very impressive. A must for every photography fan. (Original) Sehr schönes Museum. Man begibt sich auf eine Zeitreise von den Anfängen der Fotografie bis in die 1980er Jahre. Auch die Sonderaustellung BERGE war sehr beeindruckend. Für jeden Fotofan ein Muss.
(Translated by Google) Anyone interested in the history of photography should risk a visit. With an entrance fee of €2 you can't complain. (Original) Wer sich für die Geschichte der Fotografi interessiert sollte einen Besuch riskieren. Bei einem Eintrittspreis von 2€ kann nicht mekern.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful building, suitable rooms, free entry, what more could you want? (Original) Schöner Bau, geeignete Räume, freier Eintritt, was will man mehr?

Neo-gothic medieval church, renovated over the years. the church has a 79m high tower and double onion dome on the top and can be seen from every angle from the city, and largely seen from castle hill. the interior is currently under renovation but still the interior parts can be seen.

(Translated by Google) Parish Church of St. Jakob - largest church in Burghausen. Rebuilt several times after fires, the current building was consecrated in 1511, renovated in the neo-Gothic style in 1855. (Original) Pfarrkirche St. Jakob - größte Kirche von Burghausen. Mehrmals nach Bränden neu gebaut, heutiger Bau 1511 geweiht, 1855 im neugotischen Stil erneuert.
(Translated by Google) The visual feast created by the river separating the two countries is fascinating regardless of day or night. The town has a historical texture and deserves to be visited. (Original) Nehirin iki ülkeyi birbirinden ayırması ile oluşan görsel şölen gece veya gündüz fark etmeksizin büyüleyici, kasabanin tarihi bir dokusu var ve gezilmeyi hak ediyor.
(Translated by Google) Old, historic church in the center of Burghausen. It is very dark here without light, but there are beautiful windows in the altar area. Worth a look, but don't expect too much, simple for the time (Original) Alte, historische Kirche im Zentrum von Burghausen. Ohne Licht ist es hier sehr dunkel, allerdings gibt es wunderschöne Fenster im Altarbereich. Einen Blick wert, aber nicht allzu viel erwarten, der Zeit entsprechend schlicht
(Translated by Google) An impressive building that complements its almost simple elegance with the great stained glass windows. Very nice to pause for a moment.

(Translated by Google) The Gothic three-aisled hall parish church of the Assumption of Mary is wonderful to see. The high altar dates from 1625. When you come from Burgkirchen, the church is already enthroned on the mountain. (Original) Wunderschön an zusehen, die gotische dreischiffige Hallenpfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt. Der Hochaltar stammt aus dem Jahre 1625. Wenn man von Burgkirchen kommend thront das Gotteshaus schon auf dem Berg.
(Translated by Google) Also worth seeing from an art historical point of view. Richly designed Gothic tower with an elegant rococo dome. Interior also elegant, courtly rococo (Joh. Bapt. Zimmermann). (Original) Auch kunsthistorisch sehenswert. Reich gestalteter gotischer Turm mit eleganter Rokokohaube. Inneres ebenfalls elegantes, höfisches Rokoko (Joh. Bapt. Zimmermann).
(Translated by Google) The church can be seen from far away, up on the mountain, and invites you to visit it. - And it's really worth visiting the venerable site; no matter how challenging the path up may be. - The inn next door also offers very good Bavarian cuisine, which can also be tasted in the cozy surroundings of a beer garden. (Original) Die Kirche ist schon weither zu sehen, droben auf dem Berg, und lädt direkt zu einem Besuch ein. - Und es lohnt sich wirklich einmal die ehrwürdige Stätte zu besuchen; egal wie anspruchsvoll der Weg hinauf auch sein mag. - Der Gasthof nebenan bietet zudem eine sehr gute bayrische Küche, die auch in einer gemütlichen Umgebung eines Biergartens verkostet werden kann.
