There are several museums in the town for those who are interested in the history of the arts and industries of the town. Finally, lots of people were just walking around enjoying the history and having a quick lunch enjoying the quaint vibes.
Daniel Tower at St George’s Church
I always have to go up to the top of the local churches and Daniel Tower didn’t disappoint. One thing to note is you pay €4 at the very top of the tower so make sure you have money before you start. The tower door is open at the bottom and if you have no money it will be a lot of effort for no view! The top of the tower has great views of the surrounding fields and the old town. The walkway at the top is only about 3 feet wide so if you’re not ready to have the stone railing right in front of you then going outside may not be the best option for you!
It costs €4 to go to the top of the Daniel Turm in Nördlingen Germany. Watch out, you pay at the top of the tower not at the bottom!
The current wall was built in the 1300s. It is still open today and you can walk around the town along the wall.
