This city has earned the righteous nickname of “Pearl on the Inn”, for its picture-perfect scenery, with its colourful gothic houses, medieval inner courtyards, and its almost Mediterranean flair. Once a powerhouse of trade in the Danube-Inn routes and in the Salt Route of Bavaria, it was fought over by the Bavarian nobility to obtain its control, since the only bridge over the Inn river passed on Wasserburg. The name itself means “Castle on the water”, and it was once the main harbour of Munich, only 50 km away. Built on a peninsula with winding curves along the Inn, its beauty is as uncanny today as ever.
