Walked into town in the evening and then again the this morning. It is the only town in Germany where it is possible to walk right round the almost perfectly circular old defensive walls. We did about a 150 degrees before descending and walking back into the centre which is dominated by St Jacobs church tower. Nordlingden is in the middle of a region called 'the Ries', that was created by a large meteorite impact.
Stopped again at Donnerwach an old town built partly on an island where two rivers coverge. Met some Brits from Leeds on the MH parking area. It has a long main street of very elegant buildings now mostly shops, we did a bit of food shopping for later. There was a large Italien influence here with several pizza and pasta restaurants in the reconstructed pedestrialised area. Not as picturesque as previous stops, or are we getting too critical!
As it was Friday afternoon we have put in a few miles on the Autobahn to get past Augsburg and stopped not far north of the Bavarian Alps. The landscape has changed to hills and distant mountains. The villages are looking like ski resorts and the houses look like cuckoo clocks. We are spending the weekend in a camp site at Rottenbuch. This is where the Romantische Strasse and Alpine Strasse cross and it has a church to view. But not until tomorrow - its BBQ time.
