Nürburg is a small village in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate dominated by the Formula 1 race circuit.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
It was built in the 1920 around the village, and upgraded to Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1984. It is known as one of the most difficult racing tracks in the world.
Medieval castle sitting on a volcanic basalt cone.
A museum with interactive attractions that focus on different aspects of the race track and its history.
Plenty of potential on no race days. You can drive your own car on the track, but at your own risk and your insurance will not cover you or your car. Tickets can be bought on site (about €30 for a lap on a weekend) and parking is available. Or get totally scared as co-pilot with a professional driver. Also a go-kart track in the centre of the circuit.
Burger bar at side of track
At the racetrack. Some rooms have a really cool balcony looking on to the starting grid of the track. Rooms are booked well in advance and are not cheap on race days (invite some friends to share the price of the prime seats).
With pizzeria.
Near the Ring Werk, a shop with race related merchandise.
