Mühldorf a. Inn’s 500-metre-long town square features colourful façades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style. Arcades and covered walkways provide a route of their own for exploring the square. Together with the historic buildings and options for walking and cycling tours, they make for a stay in which sightseeing and excursions can each take centre stage.

Town Square, History and Unique Collections

One of the sights worth visiting is St. Nicholas Parish Church. Next to it stands St. John’s Chapel: built in the mid-14th century, it is now a memorial to the victims of both world wars. The town hall, with its historic “Hexenkammerl” (Witches’ Chamber), is another of the town’s notable sights.

The Nagelschmiedturm, also known as the Munich Gate, is the oldest building in Mühldorf a. Inn. From the tower, which is just under 30 metres tall, you can enjoy views across the old town. Restored tower clock mechanisms from various periods are on display inside and can be demonstrated as part of a guided tour. This offers a different way to explore the town’s history than admiring the façades and buildings around the town square.

An unusual cultural stop is the Jagdmus(s)eum Kotter. Rather than presenting a traditional trophy collection, it takes a quirky, humorous and critical look at the hunting scene. Exhibits include offbeat objects, sharp caricatures and unusual arrangements. The historic Haberkasten now serves as an event venue and complements the town’s other cultural attractions.

Those who would like to get to know the town on a guided tour can choose from classic group tours on various themes, as well as tours led by actors. The tower clock mechanisms in the Nagelschmiedturm can also be demonstrated during a guided tour.

Exploring on Foot or by Bike

The Innaue Nature Discovery Trail connects Mühldorf a. Inn with the local recreation area south of the Inn and features eleven interactive stations. The trail is suitable for the whole family; if you prefer a shorter route, you can also explore it over a distance of 3.5 kilometres. Alongside the town’s sights, this offers a family-friendly way to spend time outdoors.

For cycling tours, the “Mühldorfer Radlstern” is a dedicated starting point: from Mühldorf a. Inn, it offers routes in seven different directions. Destinations listed include Munich, Landshut, Passau, Braunau a. Inn and Burghausen, Salzburg, Traunstein and Rosenheim. The routes head in different directions, so the one that suits your stay depends on where you would like to cycle.
