The Hohe Acht comes directly after the Karussell.

The Swedish Cross on the Nürburgring Nordschleife commemorates an event during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) in which Swedish soldiers robbed and murdered tax collector Hans Friedrich Datenberg from Adenau at this spot in 1638. The current cross, which replaced an older memorial stone, stands as a reminder of this violent death. The present stone cross, reinforced after being damaged in 1895, is a prominent landmark on the Nordschleife. The "Swedish Cross" section of the racetrack is particularly dangerous. This section also lends its name to the annual RCN race "Swedish Cross."

There's no such thing as bad weather for running 😁. View of the Nürburgring in the drizzle and dusk.

Probably the most photographed object at the Nürburgring and in the Eifel. Definitely a highlight.

The route there is great, in places it runs directly along the Nürburgring Nordschleife. And you get a bit of a history lesson at this place.

The castle ruins sit on a 678-meter-high basalt cone, which is why you can see them clearly from here.
