View over Nördlingen and the Ries crater

Ries Meteorite Crater Geopark.

View north-east over the Ries Crater from Ofnethöhlen quarry located on part of the 'mega-block' zone of allochtonous rocks shunted laterally by the force of the meteorite impact. The town of Nördlingen is visible in the middle distance. The higher ground on the distant skyline is the far side of the main crater rim.
