Discover Sankt Martin Im Innkreis

Sankt Martin Im Innkreis brings together the Antiesen Valley, historic churches and castle connections, and named hiking and cycling routes. If you’re looking for a hotel for a stay here, you can base your choice of location on specific interests such as the river landscape, architectural history or trails. The train station and the A8 interchange are also useful reference points for your journey. You can begin your search by asking which part of the town matters most for your trip.

A town and its routes between Diesseits and Jenseits

The town lies in the hilly countryside on the western slope of the Troßkolmwald in the Antiesen Valley. The Antiesen divides Sankt Martin Im Innkreis into the districts of Diesseits and Jenseits. These names also appear on the hiking trails. The green hiking trail passes through Jenseits and Koblstadt to Utzenaich; the yellow trail passes through Diesseits and, via either Sindhöring or Karchham, to Senftenbach. The routes therefore differ in color, the places they pass through and their destination; two intermediate-route options are given for the yellow trail. If you plan to include trails in your trip, you can use this information to decide which route better suits your planned outing.

Church, Judenstein and Calvary Hill

The parish church of St. Martin in Diesseits was probably built before 1084 and is a listed monument. The Judenstein is located by the church’s southern wall and is dated April 17, 1294. The distinction is important: the church’s origins are uncertain, while the stone bears an exact date.

A beautiful avenue leads from the town center to the Calvary Hill church; the family crypt of the Counts von Arco Valley is located along the avenue. In Sankt Martin Im Innkreis, the R23 Antiesen Cycle Path passes the Way of the Cross on Calvary Hill. The avenue and the cycle path thus provide two different routes to this religious site: one leads from the town center to the church, while the other is a cycle route passing the Way of the Cross. This distinction can help you consider cultural and cycling interests separately or together when planning your stay.

Castle history and more recent leisure culture

Today’s Sankt Martin Im Innkreis Castle, also known as Schloss Arco-Zinneberg, is the fifth castle or palace built on this site. Its reconstruction was completed in 1726, giving it its present Baroque appearance. The castle has a large park, but the castle itself is not open to the public. The building sequence and the year 1726 answer different questions: one places the castle among earlier buildings on the same site, while the other marks the completion of the reconstruction that shaped its present appearance.

A more recent leisure attraction is the parkour park, planned and built by the local parkour club in 2021. It hosts an annual Jam & Contest, which in recent years has usually become a regular fixture in August. If the event is to determine your travel dates, check the exact date for the relevant year before planning your accommodation.

Getting here and finding a hotel

For rail travel, Sankt Martin Im Innkreis has a station on the Attnang-Puchheim–Schärding line. Check the timetable for your travel date. By car, the Ort im Innkreis interchange on the A8 is another useful reference point; it is about two kilometers from Sankt Martin Im Innkreis. This distance is approximate, so plan your specific route using up-to-date information. The station and the interchange offer different reference points depending on how you travel.
