The history of the bridge in Altach is a fascinating example of the development of infrastructure that creates crucial connections between communities. For centuries, this bridge was the only connection between Oberndorf and Laufen and also the only crossing over the Salzach between Salzburg and Tittmoning. The bridge has experienced many floods that have repeatedly destroyed it. Between 1901 and 1903, a new bridge was finally built that met the needs of its time. In 2006, another step in continuing this historical bridge tradition was taken with the construction of the Europasteg. The modern footbridge, designed with a length of 131.20 meters, runs slightly offset from the old bridge, offering an interesting perspective on the region's history. At low water, the remains of the old wooden bridge piers are still visible, testifying to the long construction history and humanity's resilience against natural forces. This new footbridge is not only an architectural work but also a symbol of connection and cohesion between the two banks and the communities associated with them.

In a small, peaceful village, where the air smells of pine branches and freshly baked bread, stands the Stille Nacht Chapel. Here, on the spot where the venerable St. Nicholas Church once towered, a new place of faith and contemplation has been created. Thanks to generous donations, this wonderful chapel blossomed after 12 years of hard work in 1937. The chapel's architecture is deliberately kept simple, a sign of humility and inner peace. Every year, visitors from all over the world flock here to give a moment for the soul in this modest sanctuary. The Stille Nacht Chapel, with its warm wood tones and peaceful atmosphere, invites contemplation. It is precisely its simplicity, unpretentious yet so moving, that makes it a lovely place where the Christmas spirit becomes palpable – a touch of magic that touches the heart.
