April 15, 2023,Nürburg Nürburgring Nordschleife komplett

A hike around the famous Nordschleife.
Between Postbrücke and Wehrseifen you hike on the inside of the racetrack. This is how you skip the hot spot Adenauer-Forst. But has the advantage of hiking along the racetrack from Metzgesfeld.

Between the Stefan Bellof-S and the Galgenkopf I didn't remove the pause button (again) 🙈, otherwise this was just a hike over the Nordschleife. Start & finish was the entrance at Hatzenbach.

September 12, 2022,zu Fuß durch die grüne Hölle

Since I got up very early today (10 a.m.) for my standards, I decided to go to the green hell because of the nice weather. I've ridden the Nordschleife quite a few times on my motorbike, but I've never been there on foot. The Eifel area there is great and so are the paths and paths along the Nordschleife

On today's Car Friday, all hell broke loose at the Nürburgring. I did a lap around the Nordschleife and kept admiring the different cars on the track.

July 9, 2022,Nürburgring Nordschleife (Race Edition)

Since my first visit on April 9th, 2022, there has been a plan to hike the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring again, if a race is also taking place on the circuit at the same time. On Saturday, with the second run of the NLS (Nürburgring Endurance Series), such a race was scheduled and so this plan was quickly implemented.

July 21, 2026,Boucle à allure modérée 😉 sur la Nordschleife (D)

Super hike in a legendary motorsport location. And we are almost all the time in the woods with, for me today, a magnificent Porsche flat-6 melody. And there were many musicians! A treat 😁😍. Two flies in the ointment: Komoot only kept 3 photos (the others disappeared: I don't understand) and I finished last in the competition behind the Porsches …

September 27, 2025,🇩🇪 MV Eifel Verrückt - Nürburgring 🥰

Walking along the Nürburgring Nordschleife in the Eifel region is no punishment, and witnessing Formula 1 hero Max Verstappen's GT3 debut live is certainly something special.
What a wonderful combination to do: hours of enjoyment on beautiful nature trails around the 20.8k circuit with unparalleled views of 110 roaring race cars. Max and his teammate Chris Lulham were tearing it …

February 12, 2024,Nordschleife von/bis Adenau

Inspired by a tour by @Ralf, I hiked along the Nordschleife with Andrea today.
Due to ongoing construction work, there is no traffic on the route, but there is often mud-slinging from construction machines on the paths. But km covered, that was the main goal today.
