Wine and good Health

If the Wine God Bacchus had been a cyclist, then he would definitely have made a stopover in the Ahr Valley. It belongs to one of the richest historically traditional regions and is famous for its first class red wine. The charming middle age city of Ahrweiler is still surrounded by its fortress walls.
On the steep slopes of the Ahr Valley the climate is comparable to that of Spain and Italy. No wonder that a vital Wellness Culture has grown which includes Spa Swimming Pools and other encompassing  health programmes including therapy for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and metabolic disorders, rheumatism, cardiac, circulatory and vascular disorders, with one goal in sight, that of greater enjoyment of life. A bike tour through the Ahr Valley is medicine for body and soul. You ride at the foot of imposing vineyards and your eyes meet one sight more beautiful as the last one you passed by.  Your tour will take you past Romanic and Gothic Churches, some built 900 years ago

Nuerburgring Grand Prix Racing Track

Germany's Nurburgring opened on June 18th, 1927, as The Nürburg-Ring, a 14 mile twisty devil of a race track. It had 172 corners then, too many for a driver to remember the exact racing line through all of them. Meaning, of course, that the best racing driver could pull off amazing feats of showmanship--if he was brave enough.
Take Juan Manual Fangio, for example. Loosing the lead after a horrendous pit stop near the end of the 1957 German Grand Prix, he managed to break the lap record by 12 seconds on three consecutive laps to take over the lead and win the race.
He quit racing a year later, as if he had reached the pinnacle and there was nowhere else to go, "I believe that on that day in 1957 I finally managed to master the Nürburgring, making those leaps in the dark on those curves where I had never before had the courage to push things so far."
There is likely to never be another race track like The Nürburgring again.

Volcanic Region (Laacher See)

Laacher See the Volcanic Lake in Brohl Valley
The volcanic eruptions in Germany were concentrated in a belt, about 600 km long, following the valley of the River Rhine, which occurred when a rift developed across Europe as the Atlantic Ocean opened. Most of the eruptions took place along major faults trending mainly from north to south or sometimes from northwest to southeast. Successive episodes of rifting were reflected in the activity that reached its climax in areas such as the Odenwald, Spessart, Taunus and Westerwald, Swabia and the Kaiserstuhl more than 15 million years ago.
Volcanic activity began in the Eifel region about 800 000 years ago and reached its distinct late climax between about 12 000 and 10 000 years ago. It was also some 11 000 years ago that the great eruptions of Laacher See distributed indicator beds as far a field as Switzerland, northern Italy and southern Sweden (Bogaard & Schmincke 1985).
