Description

Opposite the station forecourt is the Tourist Information at the station - a first point of contact for all travelers by bus and train.

The local entrance from the station forecourt of the tourist information is accessible. The entrance is accessible via an elevator from the parking lot. Whether young or old and with or without handicap - everyone is welcome. Guests can find out about excursion or event tips and activities on the Oberstdorf app on digital touch displays inside and outside.
