Baden Wurttemberg is one of the 16 states of Germany. Baden-Wurttemberg, one of the 16 states of the Federal Republic of Germany, is situated in the southwestern part of the country. It's home to the world-famous Black Forest. The river Rhine forms the western and part of the southern borders. The spring of the river Danube is in Baden-Wurttemberg, near the town of Donaueschingen, in an area of the Black Forest called Furtwangen. The region is famous not only for its pine forests, but also for the cuckoo clocks made there, and for its spa resorts, where people can find clean mountain air and healing mineral waters. Visitors who enjoy walking will find endless hiking trails going through pretty villages surrounded by green pastures and welcoming farmhouses.
Stuttgart is the capital of the state of Baden-Wurttemberg in southern Germany. Stuttgart is spread across a variety of hills, valleys and parks - unusual for a German city and often a source of surprise to visitors who primarily associate the city with its industrial reputation as the 'cradle of the automobile.
People in Baden-Württemberg tend not to talk in superlatives, even though the state continually sets records. It is no. 1 in Europe for high-tech, German leader for patent registrations, and famed for its inventors, first and foremost among them Gottlieb Daimler, Carl Benz and Robert Bosch. Today, it is not only Bosch, Daimler, Porsche and Boss, but also mid caps like Fischer (rawl plugs), Stihl (saws) and Wurth (screws) that make it the world champion in the export rankings. |
