How to get there

The town of Attendorn is easy to reach via the A4 highway (Cologne - Olpe) and the A45 Sauerland route. On the A45, take the Attendorn/Olpe exit and follow the signs, which will take you past small villages along the Biggesee, or take the Meinerzhagen exit and follow the signs to Attendorn from there.
