The Nürburgring is a living legend as a racetrack and is reverently referred to by its fans as “Grüne Hölle”.

The “Rolandsbogen” (Roland’s Arch) had already become a tourist destination early in the 19th century, offering a view on the Rhine Valley, Siebengebirge (the Seven Hills) and the Rhine Islands, Grafenwerth and Nonnenwerth. According to Alexander von Humboldt, you have “one of the seven most beautiful views in the world” from here. The “arch” is still extremely popular today as a motif for photographs, because of the restaurant of the same name, but also because of its direct connection to the RheinBurgenWeg trail.

Start of the 280 km long "German Volcano Road", which leads to the 39 highlights in the world of the Eifel volcanoes. Hard to imagine what happened here almost 13,000 years ago. In the gently rolling landscape, the roof of a volcanic focus that had formed underground suddenly bursts open. A massive explosion shakes the area, caused by the underground contact of hot gases and groundwater. The volcano throws out huge amounts of ash and pumice.
