turn left, going downhill towards Adenau. 5KMs Tee junction

Walk up track to the right of the school and follow path
for 800 yards uphill.
WARNING this walk is
not for the faint hearted, take a drink. If the gate to
the track beside the school is open you are lucky and
can drive up the hill.
There is a Gate at
the bottom of the uphill single track road which is closed
nearly every weekend, but seems to be open for Monday
afternoons and evening sessions. When it is open you can
drive up and park 50m from the corner.

This viewing point is very easy to
find and close to the track, however as it is under
trees, it is usually darker than most other viewing
points on the ring. If the weather is not bright and
sunny, you will probably not be able to get shots that
are focussed or light enough.
