Stretching from the coastline of the North and Baltic seas to the mighty Alps and from the Lower Rhine to the Oder, this guide presents the diverse natural and cultural landscape of
Germany. The unique habitat of the mud flats and the popular islands of Sylt and Rügen are explored along with the North German flatlands, the low mountains of the Eifel and
Elbsandsteingebirge, and the highest point in the land: the summit of the Zugspitze. Images of ancient Roman sites, imperial Romanesque cathedrals, medieval walled cities, and
ultramodern edifices in Berlin and beyond demonstrate just some of the architectural and historical highlights to be found in this amazing country.
