Nördlingen

  • The “Romatic Road” leads straight across the historic town center of Nördlingen. The town is surrounded by the only completely conserved and accessible town wall in Germany. The belfry of the late-gothic hall-church St. George, tenderly called “Daniel” by the townfolks, can be climbed. The visitor will have a marvelous view over the singular landscape of the Ries from up there. Let you be enchanted by the flair of the former imperial town.
