Irschenberg offers a range of attractions: public DINZLER coffee experience tours, Late Gothic church art, a viewing pavilion and an 8.7-kilometre cycle route. To plan your stay, you can first decide whether coffee, history, views or cycling will shape your visit.
Getting here and finding your way
Irschenberg is a few hundred metres from the Munich–Salzburg motorway. The DINZLER restaurant, with around 800 seats, is located right by the Irschenberg exit on the A8. The first detail describes the location of the village, the second the specific location of the restaurant—two different points of reference for your planning.
Experience coffee
DINZLER offers public coffee experience tours at Irschenberg once a month. The tour takes you through the DINZLER Coffee Experience World and offers insights into the work of the master roaster. This gives you the option of a dedicated coffee and roasting craft experience alongside a visit to the restaurant. Check the specific date for your stay: bookings and registration must be made online in advance.
Late Gothic art in Reichersdorf
The branch church of St. Leonhard in Reichersdorf is a Late Gothic, four-bay hall church with a slightly narrower, three-sided enclosed sanctuary. The plastered tuff-stone building was constructed and consecrated in 1496. These details describe a clearly dated building history; inside, a work of art draws attention to another chapter in the church’s story.
Inside is a small Late Gothic winged altar dedicated to St. Achatius, created by Erasmus Grasser in 1506. It features figures of the saint enthroned and surrounded by angels, as well as panel paintings depicting the legend of St. Achatius. The architecture and altar offer different ways to explore the site: you can view the church building as a Late Gothic hall church or focus on the design and imagery of the winged altar.
Since 1684, St. Leonhard’s Church has been the focal point of the annual Leonhardifahrt in Reichersdorf, held every autumn. It takes place on the second Sunday in October each year. If the tradition is relevant to your trip, you can plan your stay around this recurring date.
Wilparting and views of the Inn Valley
The pilgrimage chapel in Wilparting is dedicated to Saints Marinus and Anian. According to tradition, the Irish itinerant bishop Marinus and his deacon Anian suffered martyrdom in 697 at the site where Wilparting Pilgrimage Church now stands. This is a traditional account, not an established historical fact.
The Irschenberg viewpoint offers a different perspective on the surrounding area: the pavilion stands on a small hill above the A8 and affords views of the Inn Valley, Wendelstein and Wilparting Pilgrimage Church. From Irschenberg village square, you can reach the viewpoint quickly via StegangerstraĂźe. This connects a viewpoint with a specific starting point in the village.
A cycle route with clear distance details
The “Irschenberg” cycle route is rated easy, covers 8.7 kilometres and has 57 metres of elevation gain. It starts at the TSV Irschenberg sports clubhouse and passes through the A8 underpass. The route description also includes a short section on the St2077 and two crossings of the B472. When choosing the route, these details about its course are relevant alongside its length, elevation gain and difficulty rating.
