[00:00:01]Hi guys.

[00:00:02]Want more fact bits about Bavaria or let's say a s- Let's talk about one city in Bavaria.

[00:00:12]Let's talk about Nördlingen. Just a few quick things that might interest you.

[00:00:19]Nördlingen is located inside a meteorite crater.

[00:00:25]So, millions of years back a meteorite struck Earth.

[00:00:34]Struck Earth?

[00:00:35]>> [snorts] >> Is that right? Okay.

[00:00:37]Hit Earth. Sounds good.

[00:00:39]And left a crater. And as time went by, people thought about Oh, that's looking like a good place that has a natural fortification.

[00:00:55]About the circums- fence of um I think 25 km. About that, yeah. And uh that's not the only thing that's special about Nördlingen.

[00:01:09]It's also one of the cities or one of the few cities that have a complete city fortification that's still in one piece. So, you can go up there and you can circle the whole old town on that fortification.

[00:01:35]Like back in the 1500s, 1400s.

[00:01:40]And of course, the houses back in there are also from that area from that uh era, not area.

[00:01:50]Era. Sorry. Good. Um yeah, that's it for now. Um Nördlingen is also worth visiting if you ever come to Bavaria like other cities.

[00:02:02]I might tell you about them those two.

[00:02:05]Bye.
