Nestled deep in the Eifel mountains of Germany, the Nürburgring is the ultimate temple of speed. From its historical roots in 1927 to its status as the world's most testing vehicle proving ground, learn what makes this place special.
While the legendary Nordschleife is the main attraction, the Nürburgring has evolved into a world-class motorsport resort. Surrounded by the beautiful Eifel hills, visitors can explore history, race go-karts, take behind-the-scenes tours, and experience authentic automotive culture.
Perched majestically in the center of the Nordschleife loop, this 12th-century medieval castle ruins dominates the Eifel landscape. A short hike leads to the main tower (keep), which offers breathtaking, 360-degree views of the race track, the surrounding forests, and the Eifel mountains.
An interactive motorsport experience for all ages. Explore a massive collection of historic race cars, participate in dynamic 4D simulator rides, try your hand at the simulator challenge, and walk through the hall of legends to see the rich legacy of heroes who conquered the Green Hell.
