Nördlinger Ries impact structure

View over Nördlingen and over the meteor crater from the "Daniel"

Nördlingen, largest city in the meteor crater, has about 20'000 inhabitants. The old town is surrounded by a city wall, 5 gates and 16 watchtowers. The most prominent feature in Nördlingen is the "Daniel", a 90m high spire of the St. George's church. In clear weather one has the best possible view from its top over the Nördlinger Ries:
