Discover Mühldorf a. Inn

A 500-metre-long town square, historic buildings and routes for cycling and nature experiences give Mühldorf a. Inn a variety of facets. The Inn-Salzach architectural style façades and arcades shape the town’s appearance; the Innaue nature trail and the Mühldorf Radlstern add two clearly distinct activities. For planning your trip, the first question is whether you would like to focus more on the town’s history, cycling or a nature route. You can also use this to guide your search for a holiday apartment.

Town Square and Historic Buildings

The town square is 500 metres long and characterised by brightly coloured façades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style. Arcades and covered walkways invite you to explore the square. Next to the parish church stands St. Johannes Chapel: built in the mid-14th century, it is now a memorial to the victims of both world wars.

The Nagelschmiedturm, also known as the Munich Gate, is the oldest building in Mühldorf a. Inn. The nearly 30-metre-high tower offers views over the Old Town. Restored clock mechanisms from various periods are on display in the tower and can be demonstrated as part of a guided tour. Other sights of particular interest include St. Nikolaus Parish Church and the Town Hall with its historic “Hexenkammerl” (Witches’ Chamber).

Culture and Exploring the Town

The Jagdmus(s)eum Kotter takes a quirky, humorous and at the same time critical look at the hunting scene. Instead of a traditional trophy collection, it displays bizarre objects, biting caricatures and unusual arrangements. Groups can choose from classic town tours on various themes as well as actor-led tours. The historic Haberkasten is now used as an events venue.

These activities offer different focuses: the Jagdmus(s)eum centres on an unconventional exploration of the hunting scene, while a town tour can cover a range of topics. For a shorter outing, there is also the Old Town walk through Mühldorf a. Inn, which introduces visitors to the district town’s history and architectural highlights.

Cycling, Nature and Rail Connections

The “Mühldorf Radlstern” offers cycling tours from Mühldorf a. Inn in seven different directions. The cycle paths lead, among other places, towards Munich, Landshut, Passau, Braunau a. Inn/Burghausen, Salzburg, Traunstein and Rosenheim. Seven railway lines also converge in Mühldorf a. Inn, with connections to Munich, Salzburg, Passau and Innsbruck. Bicycles can be carried free of charge on many SüdostBayernBahn trains. Check whether this option is available for your specific train connection.

The Innaue nature trail connects Mühldorf a. Inn with the local recreation area south of the Inn. Its eleven interactive stations and suitability for the whole family make it a different way to explore the surroundings than cycling in one of the Radlstern’s seven directions. A shorter 3.5 km route is also possible. When planning your day, you can choose between a nature trail with stations and the Radlstern’s various routes.

In the wider Mühldorf Am Inn destination

In the wider Mühldorf Am Inn destination, the Salzburg High Fountain adds to the history of the town square: in 1692, it was a gift from Salzburg Prince-Archbishop Johannes Ernst von Thun. The two Traidkästen, Haberkasten and Kornkasten, were built as grain stores in the 15th century, with a courtyard between them. The Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural centre. The summer festival in the Haberkasten courtyard has been held annually during the first two weeks of July since 1999. If you are planning to visit, check the specific event dates.

At the Mühldorf a. Inn History Centre and Museum, the permanent exhibition “Everyday Life, Armaments, Extermination” presents the history of the Mühldorf district during the Nazi era.

Together, the two themes lead from the district’s history to the different ways people relate to the Inn.
