Schlossgasse, Dachau Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The Schlossgasse in Dachau's old town is one of the oldest and most beautiful streets in the city. With its historic cobblestones, colorful facades, and small old houses, it seems almost like a journey back to past centuries.

Even in the past, the alley led up to Dachau Castle, which towers high above the city. Merchants, craftsmen, and visitors once walked here daily, while carriages took the path to the castle. Artists, in particular, were drawn to the atmosphere of Dachau's old town. In the 19th century, Dachau even became a well-known artists' colony, and many painters found their inspiration in the winding alleys and the special light.

Anyone strolling through the Schlossgasse today can still feel the old charm of Dachau. Small cafés, historic buildings, and the view up to the castle give the alley a quiet and almost romantic atmosphere — especially in the evening, when the old lanterns illuminate the cobblestones.

View of Munich and the Alps from Dachau Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Enjoying the view from the castle over the lower town of Dachau and the Munich skyline in front of the Alpine panorama is worth the drive up when visibility is clear!

Dachau Hydroelectric Power Station on the Amper

Highlight • Structure

The small, blue power plant on the Amper in Dachau dates back to the 1950s. In 2018, the dusty turbine technology was renewed for over 2 million euros and now every drop of water is used for energy production. The state-of-the-art interior does not look like a romantic building.
