The 500-meter-long town square defines the look of Mühldorf a. Inn: colorful facades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style give it a distinctive architectural theme. For a short stay, it is a striking introduction to the district town. The old town walk is a short route through Mühldorf a. Inn that offers a glimpse of its history and architectural beauty. This lets you make the townscape itself the focus of a visit and add other interests to your itinerary.
Architecture and Local History
The Nagelschmiedturm, also known as the Munich Gate, stands at the entrance to Mühldorf's town square; it is the oldest building in the city. The Salzburg High Fountain on the town square was a gift from Prince-Archbishop Johannes Ernst von Thun of Salzburg in 1692.
The two “Traidkästen,” Haberkasten and Kornkasten, were built as grain stores in the 15th century, with a courtyard between them. Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural center. Since 1999, the summer festival has been held annually in its courtyard during the first two weeks of July. If the festival is a deciding factor for your trip, check the dates for the relevant year.
Museums with Different Perspectives
At the Mühldorf a. Inn History Center and Museum, the permanent exhibition “Everyday Life, Armaments, Extermination” explores the history of the district during the Nazi era. The exhibition “Lifeline Inn” in the same building focuses on the relationship with the river: it shows how people have lived with the Inn and how it is used today.
The Kotter Jagdmus(s)eum strikes a different note. Instead of a traditional trophy collection or a wall full of weapons, it offers an offbeat, humorous, and at the same time critical take on the hunting scene. The exhibitions at the History Center also differ in their time frame: one covers a chapter of the district's history, while the other explores life with the Inn in the past and today.
Walks and Experiences on the Inn
The Innaue nature trail has 11 interactive stations and connects the town of Mühldorf a. Inn with the recreational area south of the Inn. As a circular route, educational trail, and walking path, it is suitable for strollers and families. Those looking for a walk with informative stops will find a different experience here than on the old town walk.
Another way to explore is the “A Court on the Move” GPS tour: it takes you through Mühldorf am Inn, where you solve various puzzles along the way. Digital availability may change, so check the tour before planning your trip. While the nature trail features interactive stations, the GPS tour focuses on solving puzzles as you go.
Visitors can cross the Inn on the historic, cable-operated tow ferry “Josef III.” If you would like to include the crossing in your plans, check the latest information in advance.
Swimming and Exercise
Mühldorf outdoor pool adds swimming and water activities to the cultural offerings. It has a swimming pool, a non-swimmers' pool, a children's paddling pool, a water slide, and a beach volleyball court. The pool complex also has a food service facility.
