If you need a break, you've come to the right place

The "Daniel" church tower of St. George's Church in Nördlingen is the town's most visible landmark and a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture. At 90 meters high, the tower rises above the town's rooftops and offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Nördlinger Ries region – on a clear day, up to 99 church towers can be seen. Construction began in 1454 and was completed in 1490 with a temporary roof. After a lightning strike in 1537, the tower received its characteristic Italian dome. Originally known as the "Wendelstein," it was renamed "Daniel" in the 19th century – an allusion to the biblical figure Daniel, who was elevated to the rank of prince. The Daniel tower is particularly vividly brought to life by a centuries-old tradition: Every evening between 10 p.m. and midnight, the watchman calls out "So G'sell, so!" from the tower room. – a greeting that dates back to a legend from 1440 in which a runaway sow helped uncover a treason and save the city from an attack. Those who climb the more than 350 steps to the viewing platform will be rewarded not only with an impressive panorama but also with a sense of the history and soul of this unique city.

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.

Very beautiful there and the path is also lovely.

Very crowded in summer but beautiful

Partly open, partly with battlements, the high wall offers beautiful insights into the city centre

The massive church of St. George was built like a cathedral for the old city republic of Nördlingen in just under 80 years - extremely impressive! It is the largest building in the world made of suevite. The furnishings with altars and works of art are also very worth seeing.

The view over Nördlingen and the Ries is overwhelmingly beautiful! If you dare, you should tackle the 350 steps.
