Town in Germany
“From hidden galleries to iconic institutions, this is a place made for curious travelers.”
Nördlingen is a town in the Donau-Ries district, in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany, with a population of approximately 20,674. It is located approximately 115 km (71 mi) east of Stuttgart, and 145 km (90 mi) northwest of Munich. It was built in an impact crater 15 million years old and 25 km (16 mi) in diameter—the Nördlinger Ries—formed by a meteorite which hit the earth with an estimated speed of 70,000 km/h, and left the area riddled with an estimated 72,000 tons of micro-diamonds.
