SIGN UP HERE EIFEL SÜDTRECKE The Nürburgring Südschleife was the 7.7-kilometer-long southern circuit in the German Eifel, which opened in 1927 alongside the Nordschleife. Together, both loops formed the 28-kilometer-long endurance circuit. Today, the original layout has largely disappeared, and the modern Grand Prix circuit largely occupies this site. History and Layout Total length: 7,747 meters (as a standalone circuit). Total distance (Gesamtstrecke): 28,265 meters when the north and south loops were ridden combined. Character: The south side was known as a technically challenging and faster circuit, which often served as a test track or as a warm-up for races. Location: Situated in the Eifel near the town of Nürburg (approx. 3 hours drive from Rotterdam). What remains? In the early 1980s, the old start-finish section of the Südschleife was demolished to make way for the current modern GP track at the Nürburgring. Only a few small, abandoned stretches of asphalt and road sections of the original southern loop remain in the woods surrounding the current complex.
