Tübingen
South Africa Program 2009
German
lesson: Geography
a
report written by Izanne Tyler
I looked forward to the geography
seminar on Germany as this really interests me as I study tourism. It was also interesting for general information,
as this is a country that I am currently visiting and its rich
with history. I found out that Tübingen lies in the state Württemberg
and the capital is Stuttgart. Tübingen university was founded
in 1477. The population of Germany is about 82,5 Mio. and the
capital city of Germany is Berlin. The highest church tower is
found at, Albert Einsteins birthplace, Ulm. Lake Konstanz is the
biggest lake in Germany which also borders Austria and Switzerland,
and the Neckar river flows through Tübingen as well. On the other
hand the Rhine river is the largest river in Germany. The Black
Forest is found in Germany which is close to Freiburg. Besides
Tübingen, Heidelberg and Freiburg are also traditional places
of study. The geography of Germany as a whole is such a broad
topic, there is so much history and so much more to be learned.
This is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity and knowledge
that will be treasured and always remembered by me, and everyone
who participates in this wonderful program.
Danke...
