9. Stage of the VIA ROMEA
„DONAU-RIES“- AREA CREATED BY HEAVEN
The “Nördlinger Ries” was created by a meteorite impact that hit the edge of the Swabian Alb almost 15 million years ago and that caused a crater. This impact is comparable to the town wall of Nördlingen in a small circle, only in a big one – perfectly circular.
