About Nurburgring, Germany
The Nürburgring (German pronunciation: [ˈnyːɐ̯bʊʁkˌʁɪŋ] ) is a 150,000-person capacity motorsports complex located in the town of Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It features a Grand Prix race track built in 1984, and a long Nordschleife configuration, built in the 1920s, around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. The north loop is 20.830 km (12.943 mi) long and contains more than 300 metres (1,000 feet) of elevation change from its lowest to highest points. Scottish racing driver Jackie Stewart famously nicknamed the track "the Green Hell". Originally, the track featured four configurations, namely the 28.265 km-long (17.563 mi) Gesamtstrecke, which in turn consisted of the then-22.835 km (14.189 mi) Nordschleife, and the 7.747 km (4.814 mi) Südschleife.

How high is the terrain in the Nurburgring model?
The land in this model runs from 431 to 654 m (223 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 3 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Nurburgring?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 25.1 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:33,300. It also works for CNC carving. Use Customize to change the width, base thickness or height exaggeration, make it round or add a name plate.
How accurate is the Nurburgring model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Nurburgring model free?
The Standard resolution model is free as STL, 3MF, Colored 3MF, OBJ and a 16-bit heightmap. High resolution samples the place about ten times more finely and is a paid upgrade.
What is a Nurburgring terrain model good for?
People use it as a souvenir of a trip, a gift for a skier, hiker or racing fan, or a desk piece.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Nurburgring, Germany from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. Outside the United States the heights come from open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point.
The model covers a 5 by 5 kilometer square centered on 50.3356, 6.9475. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:33,300. The heights are exaggerated 3× so the shape is easy to see and feel; you can change that when you customize the model. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
