The church is undergoing major renovations both inside and out. The actual aesthetics are beautiful and worth a visit when done.
Climb up the Daniel Tower, it is worth to do so! That is the only place where you can share the feelings of being a member of the Survey Corps in the amine of "Attack on Titan"!Of course, the cat of the tower, Wendelstein, was another reason I so love this tower!
We spent the day in Nordlingen today and were glad we went. The kids (10 and 14) ran up the stairs to the Daniel Tower, while I waited in the beautiful Marktplatz. This town is adorable, with half timbered houses that seem to be sagging in the middle or leaning to one side. A walk on the town wall is another must-do.
It was cold, windy, wet, but the views, the curator and the cat make this a must-do. When you get to the top, there is a small fee to be paid got the long walk up the stairs. Have visited church towers in many countries, this is definitely one of the best.
Construction nets does not show you the beauty of the building but when you go inside it is nice and cool. Old men are hired to get up the tower, call out from 10pm, which entertains the tourists who call out back.
The climb to the top is worth it! It gives a great perspective of the town and how the wall really would have separated the city from intruders. The interior of the church is huge, but not particularly ornate. Still, the whole site is worth the visit!
After reading TripAdvisor reviews on this church tower, the one in Rothenburg and the one in Dinkelsbuhl we decided to save our euros, energy and height anxiety for this tower.....and it was the right choice! It now costs 3€ pp (which you strangely pay near the top only to climb the last 16 steps and be on the observation deck). It is a tight climb. Make sure you wear good shoes. I would not recommend this to small children because it is often steep with little railing. There are bathrooms near the top...the cleanest I saw in five days of travel :-)
This church is built from suevite a material left by a meteor millions of years ago. It is light and lofty with a fine altar painting of christ crucified. The tower is closed for renovation which is a shame as evidently the views are superb
The walk up the bell tower is the highlight of this cathedral. It is steep, winding, and at times a little rickety (although not scary), and allows one to go outside at certain points to see an incredible view of the walled city. At the top is a bell keeper with a resident cat who sells postcards and souvenirs, as well as some interpretive materials in German only. There are also nice restrooms at the top.The inside of the cathedral is also very impressive. We loved Nordlingen for its sleepines; it is more off-the-beaten track than other Romantic Road towns but is no less picturesque.
We first climbed this tower approx 20 years ago and admired not just the view, but also the venerable keeper for his stamina in climbing up and down to his quarters several times a day.Visiting the Nordlingen with friends last April we climbed with them to the top... Its just as steep ! ... and the new warden is just as amiable.However steep the climb, the views across the town and across the Ries crater are just stupendous and well worth the effort.
