Nördlingen is surrounded by Germany's only completely preserved and fully accessible city wall. A walk on the 2.7-kilometer-long defense system offers a wonderful view of the medieval streets. If you climb the "Daniel" - the bell tower of the late Gothic St. George's Church - you have a wonderful panoramic view of the city and the Ries, a meteorite crater that was formed about 14.5 million years ago. To this day, the tower keeper on the "Daniel" calls out his watchman's call "So G’sell so" over the city throughout the year.

The city wall of the city of Nördlingen is one of the most outstanding monuments in Germany, as it is the only building of this kind on which the visitor can walk around the old town without having to leave the wall ring.

Hiking

If you want to walk 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.
