🚐 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.

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.
