The quirkiest hike I've ever done. Because although you move alone in the forest, you are surrounded by roaring engine noises for half of the route. Not for people who seek peace ;-) But I was more interested in the challenge of the ascent to the "Hohe Acht" and a long distance.

The circular hike starts at the outskirts of Adenau heading towards Altenahr and runs counterclockwise completely around Adenau. Except that in Breidscheid we cross the village and pass between a few houses over the Schwallenberg, the route leads only through forest and fields.

IMPORTANT!!! Check in advance if a race is taking place!! Possibly an entrance fee!!! Closed sections! Starting at the "Quiddelbacher Höhe," the entire Nordschleife is hiked as close as possible counter to the driving direction of the Nürburgring. The sides are often switched (bridge or underpass).

    Eine sehr schöne Rundwanderung: Zunächst taucht man tief in den Wald ein, bevor man dann ab dem Streckenabschnitt Kesselchen an der Strecke entlang geht, vorbei an den Passagen Karussell, Hohe Acht, Hedwigshöhe, Wippermann und Brünnchen. Ideal zum Beobachten des Renngeschehens. :-)

    We did this hike as a couple of motor racing enthusiasts to give us some different places to look at the track on a busy tourist session day. We were walking beside the track for most of the walk and it was quite rewarding for us. Lots of places you will know as a driver but never reach easily to view. Modified it slightly, running backwards, starting at brunchen and heading towards the karussell, but heading down the historic Steilstrecke for the fun of it before doubling back up the hill to karussell. Then back down the hill onto the standard trail and continued. Started to drizzle and looked like worse to come, so we ended up cutting off the lower southwest loop of this walk - there is an easy path between shown on the map. Then back to brunchen completing the loop without retracing steps. Always prefer a loop to a one way-return hike. That route cut off a few km and we ended up doing our version of about 8.5km in around 2 hours, at a reasonable pace with short viewing stops every 20 mins or so. Quite hilly with some challenging sections particularly southwest sections. Very enjoyable.

    Ich weiß gar nicht was ist auszusetzen gibt, das ist ein ganz toller Weg mit höhen und tiefen und schönen Aussichten… Meine Oma und ich haben es sehr genossen hier und da das Rennen mit zu verfolgen und dann wieder die Natur zu genießen.

    ACHTUNG, nicht repräsentativ, daher lesen! Dank Corona war heute der Nürburgring komplett geschlossen, außerdem waren die Straßen morgens feucht, dadurch waren auch keine Motorradfahrer unterwegs: Es war einfach herrlich still! Unfassbar viele verschiedene Vögel waren zu hören, der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Turm war auch geöffnet und man war auf der gesamten Strecke beinahe alleine! Einfach traumhaft, vielen Dank dafür! Natürlich sind diese Umstände die absolute Ausnahme, aber es lohnt sich wirklich, im Winter und am besten im Lockdown hier unterwegs zu sein. Der Parkplatz ist ein wenig klein, mehr Platz gibt es hier https://goo.gl/maps/5g37PjUj8EX2T2BT7 Nicht ganz perfekt war nur der hohe Asphaltanteil, aber hey, dafür ist das Wetter auf dieser Strecke fast egal. Durch die Schneephasen der letzten Wochen liegen einige Bäume quer, da wo sie weggeräumt sind, ist es teilweise etwas verwüstet. Aber insgesamt ist die Gegend einfach genial (wenn der Lärm fehlt). Gehzeit war übrigens 4,5 Stunden mit langen Pausen (1 Person, männlich, allein)

    Eine sehr schöne und interessante Wanderung und gut mit Hund machbar, sofern der eigene Hund laute Motorengeräusche abkann! 😉 Ab dem Besucherparkplatz verläuft es wieder ruhiger durch den Wald hin zur Hohen Acht und dem Kaiser-Wilhelm-Turm! Somit bietet die Wanderung sowohl interessante Blicke auf die Nordschleife, als auch entspannte Passagen im Wald! GPS per App hilft abseits der Rennstrecke sehr!

    Eine tolle Wanderung für Motorsportfreunde. Schöne Aussichten auf die Strecke und in die Eifel. Im zweiten Drittel der Strecke erwartet den Wanderer ein abenteuerlicher Pfadabschnitt, der richtig Spaß. Am Anfang des letzten Drittels kann dann schließlich die Nürburg besichtigt werden - ein krönender Abschluss der Tour.

    Die Strecke ist insgesamt weit mehr als 26 km. Musste leider südlich etwas abkürzen, Hohe Acht und die Wälder an der Nordschleife sind aber definitiv einen Besuch wert! :)
