One special feature of Nördlingen is its wonderfully-preserved city wall. The construction of the wall began circa 1327 and replaced an older defense wall. Nördlingen is only one of three towns in Germany with an intact city wall - the other two towns being Dinkelsbühl and Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Nördlingen is a perfectly round town still encircled by its 14th- and 15th-century fortifications.
In many ways, Nördlingen feels more like a living extension of the Middle Ages than the other Romantic Road towns you'll visit. Many townsfolk dress daily in something approaching traditional local costume, and the pace of life is slower, less modernized.
They haven't, however, slowed down when it comes to the lively bustle of the food market on Gothic Marktplatz, the town's center.
Poke your head into St. Georgskirche, a 15th-century German Hall Church with fan vaulting.
