Been to the ring a couple of times. First time as a passenger, second time on my bike (stooopid!!), and this year in my E30 bought specially for the trip. Should be the best trip yet.
We stop at the Hotel Zurburg which is a full 30 second drive from the ring in Nurburg itself. Doesn't get much better.
For first timers, a couple of tips for food: The chinese restaurant in Adenau is fantastic and relatively cheap, and there is an Italian/Pizza restaurant in Nurburg which you get to via a small downhill track, this is also top quality. Advisable to book for both as they get full very quickly.
For a good daytime activity (particularly in bad weather) get yourself to Lidl in Adenau and buy a load of beer that they do in plastic bottles, it is about 5% and very nice but only costs a couple of quid for six 500ml bottles!!. Buy a load of sandwiches (also very cheap) and go up to the viewing point at Adenauer Forst, and sit for the afternoon getting hammered and watching people crash. Hours of endless fun!!!
If anybody's not been to the ring yet WHY THE HELL NOT? It is the best trip you will make.
