The original plan for this weekend was to fly to Locarno in Switzerland. After a week of excellent weather, a few days of rain, thunderstorms and lots of clouds would arrive this weekend. Not a suitable weather for crossing the Alps. Friday and Saturday morning would still be fine weather in Germany, with the exception perhaps of the south-west. So we made it a trip to Nördlingen. Locarno we will then do later.
They have several steam locomotives that are equipped to run on the tracks operated by the regional rail system. The museum offers excursions going to places like Salzburg and into foothills of the alps.
Nördlingen itself is circular medieval market town. Well preserved and not quite as over-run with tourists as all the baroque stuff in Bavaria.
