Tips from the Community

Isi-Sicilia
April 13, 2026, Steep Section Rhein-Ahr-Eifel

The former steep section between Klostertal and Karussell is reminiscent of the old days of the Nürburgring, when the track was wilder and more unforgiving – a piece of motorsport myth! 🏎️🔥 Today, this part of the track is no longer passable in its original form, as the Nordschleife has been rebuilt and modernized several times over the years – primarily for safety reasons. 🔧🛑

The Wippermann section is not only technically exciting but also a popular spot for spectators and tourist rides who want to experience the "Green Hell" up close. 🌳👀

The Brünnchen leads through a spring area from which the municipality of Herschbroich used to get its water.
