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 …

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 …

On the way around the Nürburg along the legendary Nordschleife with the sound of roaring engines and screeching tires.
The Nürburgring endurance series had invited to a hot dance on the most demanding racetrack in the world. Super sports cars from professional teams went on the hunt for points and trophies together with near-series touring cars in the Green Hell. …

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.

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.
