Geography
Explore the geographic features that help explain Germany.
At the heart of Europe
Germany lies in central Europe and shares land borders with nine countries. The North Sea and Baltic Sea meet its northern coast, while the land rises southward toward the Alps. This central position has helped shape dense road, rail and urban networks.
[1]From northern plains to the Alps
Low, level country shaped by ice and rivers spreads across the north. Wooded uplands occupy much of central Germany, followed by the Bavarian plateau and the Alps in the south. This north–south rise creates clear differences in landscapes, farming and settlement.
[1]Rivers linking the country to the sea
The Rhine flows north-west toward the North Sea, while the Elbe crosses eastern Germany on its way to the same sea. The Danube begins in the south and travels east toward the Black Sea. Cities and industrial areas along these rivers show how waterways connect landscapes and economies.
