Tips from the Community
"Up to Ingelsberg" is written on a trailer in the town center - but this "mountain ride" doesn't involve overcoming more than 20 meters of altitude.

Traditional inn and beer garden opposite the parish church in Zorneding. A real eye-catcher with its colored shutters! http://alteposthalterei-zorneding.de

From time to time you can see an animal here. Unfortunately rare. Nevertheless recommended.

The first wooden building of a church, which according to the Martin patron and according to local ecclesiastical orientation, which is expressed in the donations of two nobles to the diocese of Freising in the years 813 and 821, may have existed as early as the 9th century replaced by a Gothic stone building at an unknown date. From this some inventories are still preserved (especially the Madonna, a large wall cross, the baptismal font made of red marble, some tombstones). However, this first stone building had to be demolished due to dilapidation and was replaced by a baroque new building in 1719-21. The church tower is an impressive 37 meters high - its basement comes from the previous building. http://st-martin-zorneding.de/?Pfarrgemeinde:Kirchen:St._Martin_Zorneding

A traditional house where you can always eat well again and again. The beautiful beer garden is another argument in its own right.
