Mühldorf Am Inn: Town Square, Culture and Walking Routes

For a stay in Mühldorf Am Inn, you can focus on the town’s history, exhibitions and activities on the Inn. The 500-metre-long town square is defined by colourful façades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style. If you’d like to get to know the town on foot, you can take the short old-town walk, which offers a glimpse of the district town’s history and architectural highlights.

Town Square and Historic Buildings

The Salzburg High Fountain stands in the town square. In 1692, it was a gift from Johannes Ernst von Thun, Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg. At the entrance to the square is the Nagelschmiedturm, also known as the Munich Gate. It is considered the oldest building in the town. Together with the façades, the square brings different aspects of the town’s history into view: the architecture of the Inn-Salzach style, a dated gift and a significant historic building.

Another glimpse into the town’s architectural history comes from the two “Traidkästen”, Haberkasten and Kornkasten. They were built as granaries in the 15th century, with a courtyard between them. Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural centre. Here, the buildings’ former use as granaries meets the later use of Haberkasten. Since 1999, the summer festival has been held in the courtyard every year during the first two weeks of July. If you’d like to include the festival in your stay, use this time frame as a guide and check the dates for the relevant year.

Museums and Culture

The Mühldorf Am Inn History Centre and Museum offers different perspectives on regional topics through its exhibitions. “Everyday Life, Armaments, Extermination” presents the history of the Mühldorf district during the Nazi era. The exhibition “Lifeline Inn” focuses on how people have lived with the river and how it is managed today. The two exhibitions therefore offer different perspectives: the history of a particular era and people’s relationship with the Inn.

The Jagdmus(s)eum Kotter takes a different approach. Rather than a traditional trophy collection or a wall lined with weapons, it offers an irreverent, humorous and at the same time critical look at the hunting scene. If you’re interested in different ways of presenting a subject, you’ll find a deliberate contrast to traditional hunting exhibitions here.

Routes, the Inn and Activities

The Innaue nature trail connects the town with the local recreational area south of the Inn and includes eleven interactive stations. It is designed as a circular route, educational trail and walking path, and is described as suitable for pushchairs and family-friendly. The combination of the route and its stations offers a different way to explore the surroundings than the short old-town walk: here, the focus is on being active and stopping at the individual interactive stations. If you’re travelling with a pushchair, its stated suitability for pushchairs is a useful point of reference when choosing a route.

Visitors can cross the Inn on the historic cable ferry “Josef III”. If you plan to include the ferry in your outing, check the timetable in advance. Another way to explore Mühldorf on foot is the GPS tour “A Court on the Road”. It takes you through the town, with various puzzles to solve along the way. Digital availability may change, so check in advance.

Mühldorf outdoor pool has a swimming pool, a non-swimmer pool, a children’s paddling pool, a water slide and a beach volleyball court. There is also a food service on site. The facilities thus include different pools as well as a slide and a beach volleyball court. You can decide which of these options matters most for your stay by considering the specific facilities.
