It is located after the steep section and leads through a wooded valley that gives the Nordschleife its characteristic "Green Hell" charm. The dense trees and the narrow track create an exciting and picturesque atmosphere at the same time. 🌳🍃

One of the most beautiful views in Monreal. In the foreground, you can see the upper castle bridge and the café Zum alten Pfarrhaus, the church Heiligste Dreifaltigkeit, and the overlying castle ruins Löwen- and Philippsburg, very picturesquely situated on the Elzbach. Wonderful!
