Ehringen

Among the settlements of Bavaria, Ehringen stands out for its position within the Nördlinger Ries, a broad circular basin formed by a meteorite impact around 14.5 million years ago. Fields spread across the crater floor, with the basin’s low rim shaping the wider horizon. In nearby Nördlingen, local suevite—an impact breccia—was used in historic buildings, while the old town retains a complete circuit of medieval walls. The Daniel tower of St George’s Church rises above its historic centre. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Ehringen and the Nördlinger Ries relate to their surroundings.
