Beautiful place, coming from Wehrsseifen down to Breitscheid, and from there it's only uphill to Hohe Acht

The only access/exit in the middle of the Nordschleife (for emergencies and tourist drives) with a direct pedestrian bridge, gas station, and snack bar – perfect for spectators right by the track.

The St. Maria pilgrimage chapel in Pützfeld is not just a picturesque photo opportunity. It sits enthroned on the rocky slope of the Biebelsley above the Ahr, stretching its spire towards the sky. A visit to the chapel is surprising. The early Baroque interior appears to be completely preserved. The high altar, side altars, pulpit, and confessional are richly decorated and, in their coloring, are somewhat reminiscent of the venerable perfume Echt Kölnisch Wasser.
