Discover Rattenkirchen
Accommodation in Rattenkirchen
If you are looking for accommodation in Rattenkirchen, two different local points of interest can help you plan your stay: the Baroque Church of the Assumption of Mary and the Isental Tour, which lists Rattenkirchen as one of its locations. The church stands on elevated ground and is visible from afar; the circular route starts in Ampfing. The village’s appearance and tour planning are therefore two distinct topics.

The Church of the Assumption of Mary and the village’s appearance
Its elevated location is an essential part of the Baroque parish church’s impact. Visible from afar, it stands out clearly in the landscape. If you are interested in architecture and the visible features of a place, the church offers a tangible connection to Rattenkirchen. It is part of the village’s appearance; it is a separate topic from a circular walking route.
The Isental Tour from Ampfing
The Isental Tour is a circular route from Ampfing that includes Rattenkirchen as one of its listed locations. For travel planning, the route offers a different approach from visiting the parish church: you can explore a named circular route rather than focus your stay solely on the village’s appearance. If you plan to take the tour, check the operator’s route information before setting out.

In the wider destination of Mühldorf Am Inn, the 500-metre-long Stadtplatz is a distinctive architectural focal point. Colourful façades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style define the square. The Salzburg High Fountain also stands there, a gift from Salzburg Prince-Archbishop Johannes Ernst von Thun in 1692. Haberkasten and Kornkasten, the two “Traidkästen,” were built as granaries in the 15th century; a courtyard lies between them. Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural centre. At the entrance to Stadtplatz is the Nagelschmiedturm, also called the Münchener Tor and the oldest building in the city.
Timing may also play a role in a stay in Mühldorf Am Inn: the summer festival in the Haberkasten courtyard has been held annually during the first two weeks of July since 1999. Check the dates for the relevant year before travelling. Another way to explore the city’s history is the short old-town walk through Mühldorf a. Inn, which introduces the history and architectural highlights of the district capital. It offers a different focus from the circular route from Ampfing.
At the Mühldorf a. Inn History Centre and Museum, the permanent exhibition “Everyday Life, Armaments, Extermination” explores the history of the Mühldorf district during the Nazi era. The exhibition “Lifeline Inn” looks at how people have lived with the river and how it is treated today. The Jagdmus(s)eum Kotter takes a very different tone: rather than a traditional trophy collection or a wall of weapons, it focuses on an offbeat, humorous and at the same time critical examination of the hunting scene.
For a walk in Mühldorf Am Inn, the Innaue Nature Trail is another option. The circular route is both an educational trail and a walking path, with 11 interactive stations. It connects the city with the local recreation area south of the Inn and is suitable for pushchairs and families. This sets it apart from both the short old-town walk and the Isental Tour from Ampfing: the Innaue combines nature experiences and learning stations on a circular route.
