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.

The Nürburg is the ruin of a hilltop castle in the Eifel near the town of Nürburg south of Adenau in the Ahrweiler district in Rhineland-Palatinate. It stands within the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring at 676.5 m above sea level. NHN [1] high volcanic basalt cone and can be visited for a fee.

Great view over the Eifel. The location markings on the parapet above help with orientation. Unfortunately, up here at the weekend you can always hear the engine noise from the Nürburgring.
