Erik and I were joking about going there on inline skates. Now I am seriously considering doing so

The environmental zone in Dusseldorf does not affect us for the competition, but you need to know not all parts and cities are accessible without this badge without risking a fine

If you plan to visit other cities you should check if the badge is needed

@Arnaud , for Czech we also need a to buy a badge to travel on the highway, last year I got fined for 25 Euro. I addation, in front of the hotel it is not free parking .....
