It is located after the steep section and leads through a wooded valley that gives the Nordschleife its characteristic "Green Hell" charm. The dense trees and the narrow track create an exciting and picturesque atmosphere at the same time. 🌳🍃

One of the most beautiful views in Monreal. In the foreground, you can see the upper castle bridge and the café Zum alten Pfarrhaus, the church Heiligste Dreifaltigkeit, and the overlying castle ruins Löwen- and Philippsburg, very picturesquely situated on the Elzbach. Wonderful!

The Stellwerk, a wine tavern and restaurant, has been located in the old train station in Monreal since 1992. Here, hearty, freshly prepared dishes and regional as well as international wines are offered in a cozy atmosphere.
