Hello all,

I'm planning a trip to the 'Ring May 27 -June 2 and am finding it difficult to get accommodation. Last year I stayed in a beautiful apartment that was cheap and whithin walking distance of Adenau. Sadly it's booked already and I've checked booking.com and countless other sites via google search but still not found anywhere. Anyone know anywhere I can try?

I don't want to stay in a hotel, a little self catering apartment would be idealsmile

Also I've been told Adenau is one of the best places to stay but is there anywhere else I should be looking?

Finally can anyone suggest a good route? last time I just followed the sat nav and it was fine but maybe theres a nicer way to go.

Embarrassed to admit this but I don't know what the sign is for de-restricted autobahn. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Many thanks in advance for any help, so excited about going!!

Cheers,
Sam

Re: de-restriction sign - my understanding is that it's a bit like our NSL signs, but three black lines instead of a solid bar.

Re: accommodation - I've always stayed at Sliders guest house in Dollendorf. The owner Brendan Keirle is a character and a formidable authority on the Ring and the area, he's also well acquainted with Jorg, the chef at the Comfy Corner in Adenau, and he's fun to drink with too. It's mostly a biker's guest house which is why I like it but car drivers are welcome
Many thanks for this will remember about the three black lines similar to our nsl signssmile

I really wanted an apartment so will see if I can find one before looking at guest houses..

Sam, you have looked at http://www.nurburgring.org.uk, right? Hotel An Der Nordschleife has some apartment-type rooms, and there are a couple of route recommendations on the Directions page. It's my website.
Thanks for this - an excellent site and something I've seen already and will continue to look through - really helpful. Will check the routes you suggest toosmile

Have you tried Michaela at Guesthouse Fuchsrohre?
Thanks again - I've checked this and as far as I can see it's fully booked (checking booking.com) also it's a room as opposed to an apartment. I think!

I really want an apartment, so many lovely looking places online, would much prefer this than staying in a hotel/guest house.

Hi Pip - thanks a lot for this.. I'm probably being really stupid but can't seem to follow your instructions. Once I've changed the language to English the "frie...." Option from the drop down menu on the left disappears...
Will try on computer later, maybe it doesn't work on iPhone..
