Erharting brings together two themes that can shape your stay: church architecture and beer tradition. The Hampersberg pilgrimage church and the parish church of St. Peter and Paul showcase different architectural styles; beer has been brewed in the town since 1872. When choosing accommodation, you can first decide whether you are mainly looking for Erharting’s sights and places to eat and drink, or whether you would also like to include the distinct cultural and natural attractions of the wider Mühldorf Am Inn destination in your plans.
Church Architecture in Erharting
The Hampersberg pilgrimage church is one of Erharting’s sights. In Hampersberg stands St. Ulrich’s Church, a single-nave, late Gothic brick building with a west tower, dating from the second half of the 15th century. The parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Erharting offers a different architectural accent: it is a Rococo building with valuable stucco marble. Together, these offer a late Gothic brick structure and a Rococo building with stucco marble for comparison. Anyone interested in architectural history can explore these two distinct styles as separate aspects of Erharting.
Beer Tradition and Places to Eat and Drink
Beer has been brewed in Erharting since 1872. The Erharting Brewery’s beer specialties can be sampled in the historic Sommerkeller (summer cellar). Other places for visitors to eat and drink include the Pauliwirt, the Schützenstüberl and the Sommerkeller beer garden. Exploring the town therefore offers both a brewing tradition with a specific opportunity to sample the beer, as well as a variety of places to eat and drink. Business operations and availability may change; confirm the current availability of tastings and dining options before your visit.
Getting There
Erharting has direct access to the A94. This is a useful landmark when planning your journey; check current road conditions before setting out.
In the Wider MĂĽhldorf Am Inn Destination
The 500-metre-long Stadtplatz (town square) in Mühldorf a. Inn is lined with colorful façades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style. At the entrance to the square stands the Nagelschmiedturm, also known as the Münchener Tor; it is the city’s oldest building. The square is also home to the Salzburger Hochbrunnen, a gift presented in 1692 by Johannes Ernst von Thun, Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg.
The two historic granaries, Haberkasten and Kornkasten, also tell the story of earlier uses. Built in the 15th century to store grain, they face one another across a courtyard. The Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural center. Since 1999, the courtyard has hosted the summer festival every year during the first two weeks of July. If you would like to include the festival in your plans, check the specific event dates in advance.
Museum, Nature and More Experiences
The permanent exhibition “Everyday Life, Armaments, Extermination” at the Mühldorf a. Inn History Center and Museum presents the history of the district of Mühldorf during the Nazi era. The exhibition “Lifeline Inn” explores how people have lived with the river and how it is managed today. The Jagdmus(s)eum Kotter offers a different perspective: instead of a traditional trophy collection or a wall of weapons, it takes an irreverent, humorous and at the same time critical look at the hunting scene.
The wider destination also offers a variety of ways to spend time outdoors. The Innaue Nature Experience Trail features 11 interactive stations and connects the town of Mühldorf a. Inn with the recreational area south of the Inn. It is a circular route, educational trail and walking path, and is suitable for strollers and families. The “A Court on the Move” GPS tour leads through Mühldorf a. Inn, where participants solve a variety of puzzles along the way. As digital availability may change, check the tour details in advance.
Visitors can cross the Inn on the historic “Josef III” cable ferry, which is hauled across the river by rope. Check the current departure times when planning your crossing. Mühldorf’s outdoor swimming pool has a swimming pool, a non-swimmers’ pool, a children’s paddling pool, a water slide and a beach volleyball court. There is also a food and drink outlet at the pool.
