Nördlingen, Germany

On the last day of our bus tour, we took the Romantic Road from Munich towards Frankfurt. In the morning, we stopped at Nördlingen. Supposedly, a meteor hit Earth in this area, leaving a crater in which Nördlingen was later built. Nördlingen is one of the few cities in Germany that still has a wall all the way around the town.

Nördlingen is a small quaint town with many half-timbered buildings.

St. George's Evangelical Lutheran Church had a very high ceiling and white walls. It is much more ornate than American Lutheran churches.
