Travelling from Trier
Trier is considered the oldest city in Germany; the Porta Nigra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Already in Bonn, about 115 km from Trier, the sticker requirement applies – €100 fine without a green sticker.
The next other low emission zones: Wiesbaden (approx. 121 km), Aachen (approx. 121 km) and Eschweiler (approx. 122 km). No city in Rhineland-Palatinate currently has a low emission zone; the sticker is still worthwhile for journeys to other federal states.
