Burghaus Castle, Bavaria, Germany -- Let's switch our viewpoint: From the fort, we look east over the old town and the Salzach river, angry after a day of heavy rains. Across the river gently rises Austria. In the early 20th century, this was a poor town but Wacker Chemical started a large plant here in 1915 and its been more-or-less prosperous ever since.The Salzach drains many Alpine creeks eventually into the Danube and Black Sea. It's so named because it was the main artery of the salt ("salz" in German) trade which made the Salzburg dukes rich.
