Discover Reichertsheim
Accommodation in Reichertsheim
This may help you decide whether to focus on the rural character, historical connections, or a named route during your stay.
Landscape between the valley basin and old moraine hills
The municipality of Reichertsheim, with its 107 officially named districts, lies in a valley basin between old moraine hills that are 70 metres high. Glaciers shaped the hills during the Riss glaciation around 200,000 years ago. This makes it possible to understand the landscape on several levels: the valley basin describes the location, the hills the relief, and the glaciation their formation. If you also choose a travel destination for its landscape, this geological character offers a tangible point of reference.
Church history in Reichertsheim and Ramsau
The parish church in Reichertsheim was first mentioned in 788 in a property register of Archbishop Arno of Salzburg. The parish church of the Assumption of Mary features rich stucco decoration. The early mention and the church’s furnishings offer different ways to explore church history: one is a historical reference, while the other is a specific architectural feature. The district of Ramsau is also home to a popular Marian pilgrimage site. The municipality’s religious heritage thus connects both Reichertsheim and Ramsau.
Panoramic trail and travel planning
The panoramic trail heads east via Ramsau and Reichertsheim, then returns to Haag via the hill country and Kirchdorf. Unlike the individual churches, the focus here is on a route through several named places and the hill country. This offers another approach to planning: you can consider the route as an excursion in its own right, alongside Reichertsheim’s historical connections. The municipality is about 10 kilometres from the A94 at Heldenstein.
Urban culture in MĂĽhldorf Am Inn
The wider travel destination of MĂĽhldorf Am Inn offers a distinct urban cultural profile. The 500-metre-long town square is lined with colourful facades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style. The Salzburger Hochbrunnen stands on the town square; it was a gift from Salzburg Prince-Archbishop Johannes Ernst von Thun in 1692. At the entrance to the town square is the Nagelschmiedturm, also known as the MĂĽnchener Tor; it is the oldest building in the town. A short stroll through the old town conveys the history and architectural beauty of the district capital.
The former functions of the town’s buildings also tell different stories: the two “Traidkästen,” Haberkasten and Kornkasten, were built as grain stores in the 15th century, with a courtyard between them. The Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural centre. Since 1999, the summer festival has been held in the courtyard every year during the first two weeks of July. If you plan to attend the festival, check the dates for the relevant year. This makes it possible to include Mühldorf’s urban history, architecture, and recurring cultural event as distinct interests when planning your trip.
