Break walk over the city wall. It was a pleasant and sunny 10 degrees over the city wall and around the town. Past UFO landing sites, messes, shepherds' hours and perhaps one or two cache boxes. This town is pretty interesting and now I have to google what the pigs are all about.

How nice!
All the old half-timbered houses surrounded by the city wall.
It's all worth a visit!

Nice walk around the Nördlingen city wall. The wall is mostly covered, which makes it fun even in bad weather. It feels like you're just walking straight ahead the whole time. You don't notice that you're walking in circles... :)

At the Löpsinger Tor there is a museum on various levels in the tower for a 3€ entrance fee.

Nördlingen was formerly a free imperial city with a historic city center and a well-preserved, walkable city wall.
You can't really get lost, take one of the many stairs and then go around the outside once.
