ヴィーゼムシャイトの絶景の山頂・トップ16

Great mountain bike route directly past the Nordschleife. Recommended to ride over the Carraciola carousel.

Always drive against the direction of the Nürburgring. Then you will see the cars for longer. If you don't want to see the ring activities, just turn off into the forest and look for wildlife.

A beautiful tower with a great view. When it's not foggy😉

Demanding ascent. Unfortunately in complete fog and without a view 🤷‍♂️

A beautiful and well maintained tower

Best view between Cologne and Koblenz

When you think of Nürburg, you only think of fast cars and tight corners? Then you're not familiar with the castle ruins of the same name. Nürburg was founded before 1166, probably by the Counts of Are. Characteristic slate-covered conical roofs mark the silhouette of the castle, visible from afar. Not only the view from the mighty keep is worth a visit, but also the impressive remains of the former castle complex, which was expanded in several so-called "growth rings." You can find more detailed information about Nürburg here: https://kulturerbe-eifel-mosel.de/nuerburg

The Nürburg is the highest castle in Rhineland-Palatinate (676.5 m above sea level). It was built on a basalt, weathered volcanic vent. The basalt rock gave the mountain and the castle their name: Mons Nore, the black mountain. He also supplied the building materials for the castle. When the weather is clear, the keep (39 m high) offers a fantastic panoramic view of the entire Eifel, but also of the heart of the “Green Hell”, the Nordschleife, which winds its way through the woods around the castle.
