Serpentine Eifel B-road that threads right past the Nürburgring
The B258 carves through the volcanic Eifel hills from Schleiden down past the Nürburgring at Adenau toward Mayen, a route prized by drivers for its mix of fast sweepers and tighter serpentines. Near Breidscheid it passes under the Nordschleife and runs alongside the circuit before climbing away through wooded valleys. It gets very busy at weekends with traffic heading for the Ring, seasonal motorcycle restrictions apply on some Eifel roads, and police presence is heavy.
