The combination of the natural environment and the challenge for riders makes Hocheichen an important and popular section of the "Green Hell". 🌍❤️ The name "Hocheichen" comes from the striking oak trees that line the route, giving it a unique, natural atmosphere. 🌲🌿

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."
