Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Attendorn

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head there straight away.

The Drive to Attendorn

The route covers 301 km (188 miles) and usually takes around 3 h 28 m. It crosses from Belgium into western Germany and ends in the hills of the Sauerland. Attendorn is booked less often than other routes from BRU, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel at rush hour around Brussels or at the start and end of holiday weekends. Roadworks can also add delays on this long motorway stretch.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

A Private Taxi suits one to four passengers with normal luggage. For larger parties there are minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These suit family gatherings, company teams, club trips and coach-style group travel. A journey of more than three hours is much more comfortable if everyone has a seat and room for their bags, so choose a size with some spare capacity.

About Attendorn

Attendorn lies in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Sauerland region. It is known for its medieval old town with remains of the town walls, and for the Attahöhle, a well-known stalactite cave. The Biggesee, a large reservoir nearby, draws walkers, cyclists and water-sport fans. Many visitors come for the countryside and for short breaks in the surrounding hills.

Where to Stay in Attendorn

• Burghotel Schnellenberg: a castle hotel in the Burg Schnellenberg complex above the town, a long-standing address for stays and celebrations.
• Landhotel Struck: a traditional country hotel in the Helden district of Attendorn, set in quiet surroundings.

Give your driver the exact hotel name when you book, as some properties lie outside the town centre.
