Simbach am Inn

Simbach am Inn is a town in Bavaria located along the Inn River at the Austrian border, featuring residential and commercial districts across its landscape. The town sits at a natural crossing point where the river forms the boundary between Germany and Austria.

The settlement first appeared in historical records around 927 as Sunninpah and gained official city status in 1951. Over the centuries, it evolved from a simple river crossing into a regional center along an important trade route.

The Pfingstdult industrial fair draws regional manufacturers together, while the October horse procession reflects how much local people value their equestrian heritage.

The town has regular train connections making it easy to reach nearby towns and larger regional cities. The closest international airports are within a short drive, convenient for visitors arriving from farther away.

The town was an early pioneer in adopting electrical power and now taps into geothermal energy drawn from deep underground sources to generate electricity. This blend of historical innovation and modern renewable energy sets it apart in how it powers itself.
