Discover Simbach a.Inn
Accommodation in Simbach Am Inn
Simbach a.Inn can be explored by bike, along hiking trails and through its town history. Experiences include the Inn Valley Cycle Path, trails around the Schellenberg, the outdoor swimming pool and the local history museum. When choosing your holiday apartment, it may therefore matter whether you would like to spend your stay being active outdoors, visiting the swimming pool or enjoying culture.
Hiking on the Schellenberg and nature in Winklham
At 552 m above sea level, the Schellenberg is the highest elevation between the Inn and Rott rivers. From there, you can enjoy views of the Inn Valley and neighbouring Upper Austria. Four different hiking trails are available around the Schellenberg, each about 7 to 10 km long. These distances provide a concrete framework for planning your day if you would like to include a hike in your trip.
A shorter option is the Winklham Nature Trail, which is about 2.6 km long. Along the trail, four themed information boards, two overview boards and 19 signposts provide information about the habitats, animals and plants on the hillside above Winklham. The Nature Trail therefore differs from the four routes around the Schellenberg both in its approximate length and in its nature-related information. It also passes directly through Simbach am Inn.
Go cycling or visit the outdoor pool
Cyclists also have a specific route to consider: the Inn Valley Cycle Path runs directly through Simbach am Inn. If you enjoy combining your holiday with a bike ride, you can include this route in your plans. Together with the various hiking trails, it offers different ways to be active outdoors, without requiring the same kind of outing.
The Simbach a. Inn outdoor swimming pool has two pools: a 50-metre swimming pool and a children’s pool. There are also two diving boards, at heights of one and three metres.
Town history, railway history and art
The Simbach am Inn local history museum presents the history, culture and everyday life of the town and its surroundings. One dedicated focus is railway history: the permanent exhibition provides an overview spanning 150 years. The same museum houses a gallery honouring Josef Karl Nerud. The artist, who was born in Simbach, is represented there by around 50 works from every period of his career. The local history museum thus brings together an overview of the history of the town and its surroundings, the development of the railway and an artistic perspective.
Another historical landmark is the Church of St. Mary in Simbach, which was consecrated in 1864. Together with the local history museum, it offers a reason to plan your stay with the town’s history in mind. The gallery complements this focus with works by an artist born in Simbach.
If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Simbach a.Inn, you can start by considering which of these interests matter most for your trip: the trails and cycle path, the outdoor swimming pool, or history and art.
