The colourful baroque town

Art and Culture

The Baroque town of Schärding captivates with a colorful cityscape full of bourgeois houses from the 16th to the 19th century. The Hotel Forstinger - itself a Baroque building from the 17th century - is located amidst this splendor. Right in front of the hotel is the famous Silberzeile - an ensemble of late Baroque houses. Also worth seeing is the well-preserved city wall of Schärding with several medieval city gates. The picturesque Inn promenade is only a few minutes' walk from the Hotel Forstinger.

Art enthusiasts often visit the Alfred Kubin Gallery with its changing exhibitions in nearby Wernstein. Explore the local museum, the castle gallery, and the Schärdinger Relaxweg (Relaxation Path), take a boat trip on the Inn River, or join a guided historical city walk. Did you know that in Schärding, you can marvel at replicas of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and that people also come to the Baroque town for Kneipp therapy? There's always something going on in Schärding, and at the Hotel Forstinger, you're right in the middle of it.
