	Steilstrecke The Steilstrecke (Steep Track) is a part of the Nordschleife build for test-driving. It's a 450 metres long very steep climb from 27%! Some sources tell that until the sixties, during the Turist Rides, you could choose at this point to go straight trough the Steilstrecke or turning right to the Carussell. Of course dangerous situitions should have been at Hohe Acht where both parts come together. Probalby this is just a funny story. Even than everybody would know that this would be very dangerous. The entrance seen from the Steilstrecke. Still today the Steilstrecke is a big landmark which you can't miss during a Tourist Ride at the Nordschleife! When you enter this site after Kesselchen you see behind the fence the typical shivered concrete plates between the trees before you turn right to the famous Karussell. The Steilstrecke closed by a fence! Text and pictures: Herman Liesemeijer
