Atterheide airfield is operated as a commercial airport by the Osnabrück Aero Club, founded in 1955. Aviation here actually dates back to 1912 on the land leased by the Ostman von der Leye family (see Gut Leye). Around 10,000 aircraft take off and land here every year during year-round operations. Cyclists and hikers can enjoy watching the hustle and bustle here.
Thanks to the adjacent restaurant and café "Leonardo", you can also eat here from Tuesday to Sunday from 11:00 a.m. (Sat/Sun 10:00 a.m.). Coffee and cake are also served in the afternoon.

Cycling

Roll to the airfield by bike, watch take-offs and landings or take off yourself: "above the clouds..."

From the parking lot you can easily watch the activity on the airfield and the chances of take-offs and landings are good. The airport records around 10,000 flight movements annually.

According to the airport, aircraft with a total weight of up to 5.7t can take off and land at the airfield and it is used a lot by business travelers.

The Aero Club is also based here, where sightseeing flights can be booked. The website:
