Bayern The Free State of Bavaria (English)
Geography
The Free State of Bavaria comprises the entire southeast portion of Germany. It is geographically the largest federal state of the country and shares borders with Austria, the Czech Republic and – across Lake Constance – with Switzerland. Neighbouring German states are Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Thuringia and Saxony. In the Alpine Foothills, between the river Danube and the Alps, there are numerous beautiful lakes, such as the Chiemsee, Lake Starnberg and the Ammersee. The landscape in this area is characterized by rolling hills and forests. The state’s two main rivers are the Danube (Donau) and the Main.
