Directions
Short version
E40 - N67 - A258 - Ring
Long version (Euro numbers in
brackets)
Heading
out of the docks, you'll come to the A16 (E40)
Take the A16 (E40) to Dunkerque
After Dunkerque, stay on the A16 (E40) towards Bruges,
Oostende and Brussels
Shortly before you get as far as Bruges, the road
becomes the A10 (E40) to Gent and Brussels
Navigate the Brussels ring-road, follow signs for Luik
(Liege) to take you onto the A3 (E40)
It's really easy to get lost here - watch carefully for
those Luik signs!
After Leige, stay on the A3 (E40) towards Aachen,
but you don't go that far
Instead, turn off at Junction 38 for Eupen
Turn right at the top of the slip-road and
stay on the road through Eupen
After a mile or two, you reach a T-junction with
lights where you turn right
Take the first left (lights again), which is the N67 to
Monshau
(this turning looks unlikely and is very poorly
signposted)
Go past a school, up a hill and bear right (naff-all
signposting)
After passing through a pretty town, bear slightly right at
the roundabout (1st exit)
You're now onto a long straight road with free suspension-testing
facility (still the N67)
The road then gets bendy (watch for some deceptive bends)
and you reach a roundabout
Take the 1st exit right onto the A258 towards Trier
(away from Aachen)
You're going to follow the A258 all the way to the Ring, but be
careful not to get lost on the first bit:
At the next T-junction, turn left (towards Monschau)
In 1-2k, you'll get an overtaking lane: slow
right down as soon as you lose it
Immediately after the overtaking lane goes, turn right,
signposted A258 Koblenz
This is a delightful road, but has some deceptive bends -
enjoy with caution :-)
You'll pick up intermittent signs to the Nürburgring
along here, but they come and go randomly
Continue enjoying the road until you get close enough to start
seeing racey-type things everywhere
After you pass the grandstand and museum on your
left, then the Dorint hotel, take the next
left into Nurburg
Follow the road through Nurburg until you see a large Ring-shaped
(not ring-shaped) sculpture on a roundabout
You have arrived!
If you're coming in from another direction, once you get very close you want to look for signs that say Zufahrt Nordschleife or Einfahrt Nordschleife
