TRAVEL DETAILS

We are looking forward to having you with us at the Freusburg! Of course it is important for us that you will find the location safely Therefore, please find below some travel details:

- by plane:
If you intend to go by plane, the best airport to choose is Düsseldorf (DUS). Although Cologne-Bonn airport is closer to Freusburg, there are no good train connections from there, so Düsseldorf is the best place to fly to. From DUS airport you have several possibilities for train connections to Köln Hbf (Cologne), from there you can get trains via WISSEN (SIEG) to FREUSBURG SIEDLUNG --> see train details below.

- by train:
Unfortunately, the train connections are not really the best ones... Kirchen-Freusburg only has a very small station, thus the trains stopping there are only regional trains with a lots of stops in between. But we will of course pick you up at the station if you give us your detail itinerary. The station which you have to travel to is called FREUSBURG SIEDLUNG.

There are direct connections from HAGEN Hbf, from WISSEN (SIEG) und from SIEGEN Hbf. This means, coming from any other station you should try to go via above mentioned cities. For example, travelling via Köln Hbf (Cologne main station) would allow you to get a connection via Wissen (Sieg) to Freusburg Siedlung (approx. 2,5 h).

If you need any help with finding the right trains, just contact Katy - she is really a "German train connection specialist" due to her own travelling so much ;-)

- by car:
The motorway which you need to drive towards is the A45. Assuming that you arrive either from the Western part or the Southern part of Germany, I don't list the Northern and Eastern driving directions here. However, if you need to know more details just contact us!

from the South:
Coming from Frankfurt area or further south, you should take the motorway A5 in Northern direction (Kassel) until you reach the crossing "Gambacher Kreuz". There you change to the A45 in North-Western direction (city Siegen). - see map Take the exit "Siegen" and drive on the B62 following the signs to Betzdorf. Kirchen-Freusburg is the village before Betzdorf.

from the West / from Cologne area:
You can either drive a shortcut across the smaller villages, taking the motorway A4 in Eastern direction until exit "Drespe", then leave the motorway and drive on the B256 towards Waldbröl, Rosbach, and then on the B62 to Wissen, Betzdorf, Kirchen-Freusburg.
Or you stay on the motorway A4 until you reach the cross "Kreuz Olpe-Süd" and then change on the A45 and drive to the exit "Siegen" (see above description). This is a little longer but maybe better to find in the dark.

We also have a rough map for you showing the route from London via Antwerp to Kirchen-Freusburg.
