Germany

The Federal Republic of Germany is one of the most populous and largest countries in the European Union. Some sections of the German border are natural borders, such as the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in the north, or the Alps in the south. Germany is one of the largest economic powers in Europe. The quality of German industrial products is unparalleled. The cities are connected by a network of excellent highways and high-speed railroads, and the society has a standard of living that belongs to the highest in the world.

Classical German landscapes are full of castles, palaces and ancient abbeys. Among the many mountain ranges that cross German territory, the Bavarian Alps are the most impressive. Many mountainous regions of the country are densely forested. Germany abounds with lakes, and the largest of them, Lake Constance, is actually an inland sea that stretches along the border with Austria and Switzerland.

In Germany, outdoor enthusiasts will certainly not be bored. It is a paradise for lovers of hiking and cycling, as well as for horseback riding, skiing and water sports.

Sports are not everything. The rich cultural heritage of Germany is another reason for the pride of the country's inhabitants. Each city, in the homeland of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, regardless of its size, has its own program of opera performances and classical music concerts.
