Altötting, on the other hand, is a well-known pilgrimage destination for Catholics from all over the world. It is also located in Bavaria and is often referred to as the "heart of Bavaria".

When you visit this region, there are many sights to discover. In Altötting you should definitely visit the famous Chapel of Grace, which has attracted pilgrims since the Middle Ages. The Kapellplatz Museum also offers interesting insights into the religious history of the place.

In Emmerting, you can visit Emmerthausen Castle or stroll through the historic town centre, which is still characterised by medieval buildings.

But this region also has a lot to offer in terms of culture: In summer, numerous concerts take place, including classical music events such as the International Organ Festival in Altötting or the Mozart Festival in Burghausen.

For culinary delights, regional specialities such as veal sausage with pretzels or knuckle of pork with sauerkraut - naturally accompanied by a freshly tapped Bavarian beer!

Outdoors, you can go hiking or cycling here in fine weather - the Inn Cycle Path, which runs directly through the region, is particularly recommended. In winter, you can ski in the nearby ski areas such as the winter sports centre at Götschen or Winklmoosalm.

Even if it rains, there is plenty to do here: Visit the Emmerting local history museum, for example, or take a guided tour of Altötting.

Overall, this region is a real destination for anyone who wants to experience Bavaria at its best. A travel guide for Emmerting and Altötting should not be missing from any travel list!

    Strecke ist sehr gut beschildert. Tour ist lang. Inn Fähre erfordert Kraft, weil Treppen überwunden werden müssen. Viele Einkehr Möglichkeiten. Besser ist es an zwei Tagen zu fahren. Mehrere Ausblicke aus Zeitgründen übersprungen.
