Last chance: Tourist-Info Dachau will finally close!

Pfarrstraße, 85221 Dachau, Deutschland - In Dachau, an important point of contact for tourists and locals will soon close. The tourist information in Pfarrstrasse is only open until the end of October, as the Regional Development Association Dachau Agil announced. This means that visitors are only available for a short period of time to find out more about the leisure activities in the region. The opening times are from Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. After that, all relevant information can be requested on the website www.tourismus-dachauer-land.de by mid-November.

The tourist information is part of an initiative of the Dachau district and the communities and is based along the four main topics cycling, hiking, leisure and culture. The closure of this information center is part of a more comprehensive plan of the district council for financial savings measures that was taken last summer. The entire “Tourismus Dachauer Land” initiative will also be discontinued at the end of the year. Julia Gail, a spokeswoman for the project, confirmed that the decision aimed to optimize the district's financial resources.

Development of the tourist information

The project "Network and Tourism in Dachauer Land" was launched in March 2013 and had the task of networking and marketing the tourist offer in the district. Previously, the tourist information was located in the old Zollhäusl before moving to the new location in parish road in 2023. These changes were part of the efforts to improve access to tourist information for visitors and the locals.

In recent years, many publications have been created that offered visitors valuable information about themed paths, refreshments and tour suggestions for cycling and hiking. A bike hiking guide was also published in order to bring tourists closer to the beauty of the region. The residual stocks of these publications are now to be distributed in the municipalities of the district to ensure that the valuable information is not lost.

The closure of the tourist information marks a turning point in the tourism management of the Dachau district and reflects the challenges with which many smaller tourist facilities are confronted in the region. Even if the information center will soon close its doors, the website remains an important resource for citizens and tourists to request information about the diverse leisure activities in Dachau Land. Information and materials about the region will continue to be available, but in a different form.
