Wild Camping in the Fruit Orchard - 360° View in the UNESCO Geopark Ries
An orchard meadow outside the village in the Nördlinger Ries, surrounded by fields with views stretching in almost every direction. Grandpa planted the garden originally, and old varieties have been added gradually ever since. Thirty meters further on, the Eger flows past as a narrow mill race, and a mill stands a hundred meters away. The meadow is mowed twice a year, otherwise it blooms away peacefully. You need to be self-sufficient: campers must bring their own toilet. You're welcome to pick ripe fruit. Nördlingen with its walkable city walls lies in the same crater.1

Rieskrater-Museum
In Nördlingen, it explains the impact that carved out the Ries basin, with rock samples and a piece of lunar rock. The region's rainy-day standby.
Der Daniel
The 90-metre tower of St George's church above the old town; from the top the crater rim lies as a flat ring around Nördlingen.
Nördlinger Stadtmauer
Fully walkable, the covered rampart runs once around the whole old town with no descent in between. Best walked in the late afternoon.
