    Hiking

    At the Löpsinger Gate, as at all 5 city gates, you can enter the city wall.
    The city wall museum in the tower is very interesting!

    Completed in 1379, it originally served as a defensive structure in the north of the city.

    Today, the gate tower houses the City Wall Museum, which opened in 1987 and documents the history of Nördlingen's city fortifications on six floors.
