    Hiking

    If you want to wander around the city on the city wall, you will find the stairs at one of the gates. On top of the preserved city wall from 1327, an approximately 2.7 km long circular path leads around the old town of Nördlingen. The city gates are named after the places outside the city. The towns of Baldingen, Löpsingen, Deiningen and Reimlingen have given four gates their names. Only the fifth, the Berger Tor, is not named after a place, but after a mountain, the Friedhofsberg.

    Nördlingen's city wall is a true gem of medieval architecture and a highlight for visitors of all ages. It is the only completely preserved and fully accessible city wall in Germany.

    With a length of approximately 2.6 to 2.7 kilometers, it encloses the entire old town and features a covered walkway that is accessible throughout. The wall originally dates back to 1327, when Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian ordered its construction for the city's defense. Over the centuries, it has been expanded and reinforced several times, including with five city gates, twelve towers, bastions, and oven towers for close-quarters defense.
