What is ehra-lessien?

Ehra-Lessien is a small village located in Lower Saxony, Germany. Despite its small size, it is well-known for its Volkswagen test track. The track is one of the longest and most sophisticated automotive testing facilities in the world. It is used by many automobile manufacturers for testing and developing their cars, and is often the site of speed and endurance record attempts. The track was built in the late 1960s and has since then undergone several upgrades.

Apart from the test track, Ehra-Lessien is also home to a Volkswagen factory, which has been in operation since the early 1940s. The factory produces and assembles various Volkswagen models, including the Golf and Passat.

The village itself has a population of just over 1,000 people and is situated in a rural area surrounded by fields and forests. It is a quiet and peaceful place, with few amenities or attractions, but is popular with visitors who are interested in the history and technology of Volkswagen.
