    The Löpsinger Gate was completed in 1379 and 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.

    Hiking

    At the Löpsinger Gate, as at all five city gates, you can enter the city wall.

    The museum about the city wall in the tower is very interesting!
