The Property — Ferienwohnung M. Müller
This is a no-frills, self-catering apartment above a family home in a quiet Witten suburb. The vibe is clean, practical and homey – think fitted kitchen, sturdy furniture, and a view of the garden rather than a hotel lobby. It suits independent travellers who want a base for exploring the Ruhr without paying city-centre rates. You’ll get a key, a parking spot, and peace and quiet, but don’t expect a reception desk or room service.
Chronicles of Witten
Witten sits on the Ruhr river and grew from a small farming village into a centre of coal and steel in the 19th century, powered by the nearby Zeche Nachtigall mine. The city’s medieval core was largely rebuilt after wartime bombing, so its architecture is a mix of post-war practicality and restored landmarks like the 13th-century Burg Hardenstein castle ruins. Today, Witten is a university town (University of Witten/Herdecke) with a reputation for alternative culture and green spaces, including the Muttental hiking trail through old mining sites. Its modern identity is quietly defiant – proud of its industrial roots but firmly focused on clean tech and education.
Best Time to Visit
Full Witten guide →Best months
May, June, September – warm enough for riverside walks and cycling, with lower rainfall than July/August and fewer crowds than the Ruhr’s major festival periods.
Peak / festival surge
July–August is peak for summer holidays and local festivals like Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik (June) and open-air events at the Ruhrstadion. Hotel prices rise 20–30% in August, but Ferienwohnung M. Müller stays steady because it’s small and not demand-sensitive.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer mild weather and thinner crowds, with room rates dropping by 15–25% compared to summer. You still get decent daylight for sightseeing, and the autumn colours along the Ruhr are excellent.
Weather & packing
Witten sits in the rain shadow of the Sauerland hills, so summer showers are frequent but short – expect brief downpours followed by sun. Pack a light waterproof jacket and sturdy walking shoes: you’ll use both on the same day.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) → Ferienwohnung Höpfner, Witten
💡 Pre-book with a Witten-based company like Taxi Witten GmbH to avoid airport surcharges. Flat rates to Höpfner should be around €100–120.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) → Witten Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a SchönerTagTicket NRW if you're travelling beyond Witten the same day. The S-Bahn S5 from Dortmund also runs directly but takes 10 mins longer.
Witten Hauptbahnhof → Höpfner area (stop: Herbeder Straße)
💡 Alight at 'Herbeder Straße' then walk 300m north. The Höpfner flat is the beige house with a green gate – no street number, but locals know it as 'Höpfner'. Save €2 by buying a single ticket from the driver, exact change needed.
Witten Hauptbahnhof → Witten-Annen (change to bus 372 at Annen Markt)
💡 Only useful if you're near Annen. The tram doesn't go to Höpfner directly – you'll need the bus transfer. Not worth it for just getting to the flat, but handy for Ruhr area day trips from Witten Hbf.
Witten Hauptbahnhof → Witten Heven Dorf (change to bus 371 or walk 15 min)
💡 If you’re light on luggage, tram 310 to Heven Dorf is faster than bus 371. From there it’s a pleasant 15-minute walk along the Ruhr riverbank to the apartment.
Witten Hauptbahnhof → Ferienwohnung Memories Lempicka (Höfeweg stop)

Top Attractions in Witten
💡 Visit on a Wednesday afternoon when it's quiet. The top floor has a model of old Witten – compare with the real view from the window.
💡 It's compact—allow 30 minutes. Go on the first Sunday of the month for a guided tour in German. The bastion itself has thick walls that stay cool in summer.
💡 Bring binoculars: herons, kingfishers, and cormorants feed along this stretch. The path connects to a longer 'Ruhrsteig' hiking trail if you want more distance.
💡 If the train isn't running, follow the 'Bergbaurundweg' mining trail markers for a 2-hour loop past old mine entrances and the historic Zeche Nachtigall.
💡 The café serves proper German cake – try the Streuselkuchen. Also check the noticeboard for free community events.
💡 Look for the 'Witten Bread Bench' sculptures on the square—local artists' painted benches shaped like baguettes and pretzels. Great for photos without crowds.
💡 Bring binoculars – you might spot kingfishers or grey herons. The meadow is flood-prone after heavy rain; check weather before visiting.
💡 Start at the Nachtigall pit car park. The whole loop takes about 3 hours; wear sturdy shoes as the path can get muddy after rain.
