Some other little things:
- When you get there, pick up one of
these maps (all the rental companies, stores, etc will have it). Great map of all the small roads around the track, plus all the trails. Great for finding good watching spots.
- I found this book (
Via Corsa Car Lover's Guide to Southern Germany) very useful. Covers all the auto and technology museums, race tracks, factories, and tuners. It also has a helpful section of tips on driving in Germany.
- During the daytime hours on weekdays when the track is closed, it's fun to hike up and watch the manufacturer prototypes cruising the track. From the Brúnnchen parking area you can walk all the way the karussell (and you can also walk the very steep unused section of the track that runs from Steilstrecke up to Hohe Acht).
- Also, if you have time your family might enjoy climbing to the top of the castle in the center of the village.
