Discover Mühldorf Am Inn: Town Square, Culture and the Inn

Mühldorf Am Inn combines a distinctive town square with cultural venues and experiences on the Inn. The 500-metre-long town square is characterised by colourful façades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style. A short walk through the old town introduces you to the history and architectural highlights of the district capital. This is how discovering Mühldorf begins—with its architecture—and leads on to the city’s many other, very different sides.

Town Square and Architectural History

The Salzburger Hochbrunnen fountain stands in the town square. It was donated in 1692 by Johannes Ernst von Thun, Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg. At the entrance to the square is the Nagelschmiedturm, also known as the Münchener Tor: it is the oldest building in the city. The fountain, tower and façades provide tangible historical points of reference, without requiring a long walk.

The Haberkasten and Kornkasten tell another chapter in the city’s history. These two “Traidkästen,” with a courtyard between them, were built in the 15th century as grain stores. The Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural centre. Since 1999, the courtyard has hosted the summer festival every year during the first two weeks of July. If you would like to plan your travel dates around it, this regular period is a useful guide.

Exhibitions from Different Perspectives

The Mühldorf a. Inn History Centre and Museum focuses on the history of the district of Mühldorf during the Nazi era with its permanent exhibition “Everyday Life, Armaments, Extermination.” The exhibition “Lifeline Inn” turns its attention to people’s relationship with the river: it shows how people have lived with the Inn and how it is treated today. Together, the two themes offer different perspectives—on the district’s history and on changing attitudes towards the river.

The Jagdmus(s)eum Kotter takes a very different tone. Instead of a traditional trophy collection or a wall lined with weapons, it offers an offbeat, humorous and, at the same time, critical look at the hunting scene. If you like choosing cultural venues by subject, it provides a distinctly different experience alongside the historical exhibitions.

Out and About by the Inn and in the Open Air

The Innaue Nature Experience Trail connects the city with the local recreation area south of the Inn. The circular trail, nature trail and walking route features eleven interactive stations. It is suitable for pushchairs and family-friendly; the stations provide a clear sequence of discoveries along the way. Mühldorf outdoor pool offers a different way to spend time outdoors. Its facilities include swimming and non-swimmer pools, a children’s paddling pool, a water slide and a beach volleyball court. There is also a food and drink outlet at the pool.

For a playful way to explore, the “A Court on the Road” GPS tour takes you through Mühldorf am Inn. Along the way, you solve various puzzles; as digital availability can change, it is worth checking before you plan. A special way to cross the river is the historic cable-guided tow ferry “Josef III.”

The Right Holiday Apartment for Your Travel Plans

The attractions offer different highlights: the town square, old-town walk and exhibitions make for a culture-focused stay, while the Innaue and outdoor pool provide other ideas for spending time together outside. For families, the explicitly family-friendly, pushchair-accessible route and the children’s paddling pool may be important factors when choosing what to do. The historic tow ferry adds a river crossing to the experiences on the Inn.

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider which of these sides of Mühldorf you would like to shape your stay. Then choose a location based on the places and activities you want to visit. This gives you a holiday plan that puts either local history and culture at its heart or leaves more room for outdoor activities and experiences on the Inn—or combines both.
