Welcome to Attendorn, the historic Hanseatic city in the southern Sauerland. Under the motto “Three Times Unique,” Attendorn combines three special strengths: a thriving economy, vibrant traditions, and a unique natural and recreational landscape.
The charm of the historic old town, several extraordinary sights, and the rural backdrop of the surrounding villages define this beautiful Hanseatic city and offer
the perfect setting for relaxation, while the city center invites visitors to linger and stroll. Numerous festivals and traditions continue to shape the city’s social life to this day and bring these customs to life.
Attendorn is located in the Biggesee-Listersee Nature Experience Area, one of the most attractive leisure and recreation regions in South Westphalia. The lake landscape, surrounded by forests and rolling hills, offers ideal conditions for cyclists, hikers, and water sports enthusiasts. Whether on the Ruhr-Sieg Bike Trail, at Lake Biggesee, or at the region’s numerous scenic viewpoints—here, nature, culture, and quality of life come together in a special way.
