Geography<\/b><\/p>\n
Germany is a country in west-central Europe, that stretches from the Alps, across the North European Plain to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Germany has the second largest population in Europe (after the European part of Russia) and is seventh largest in area.<\/p>\n
Elevation ranges from the mountains of the Alps in the south to the shores of the North Sea (Nordsee) in the northwest and the Baltic Sea (Ostsee) in the northeast. Between lie the forested uplands of central Germany and the low-lying lands of northern Germany traversed by some of Europe\u2019s major rivers such as the Rhine, Danube and Elbe.<\/p>\n
Germany shares borders with nine European countries: Denmark in the north, Poland and the Czech Republic in the east, Switzerland and Austria in the south, France in the southwest and Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands in the east.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Climate<\/b><\/p>\n Germany\u2019s climate is moderate and has generally no longer periods of cold or hot weather. Northwestern and coastal Germany have a maritime influenced climate which is characterized by warm summers and mild cloudy winters. Most areas on the country\u2019s North Sea coast have midwinter temperatures about 1.5\u00b0C or even higher.<\/span><\/p>\n Farther inland, the climate is continental, marked by greater seasonal variations in temperature, with warmer summers and colder winters. Temperature extremes between night and day and summer and winter are considerably less in the north than in the south<\/p>\n Demography<\/b><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n According to the first census since reunification, Germany\u2019s population was 82,790,700 (31 September 2017), making it the sixteenth-most populous country in the world and the most populous in the European Union. The total fertility rate was rated at 1.59 in 2016[6] (the highest value since 1972) and in 2011, was even estimated at 1.6 after accounting for the fact that older women contribute more to the number of births than in previous statistic models, and total fertility rates increased in younger generations In 2008, fertility was related to educational achievement (women with lower levels of education were having more children than women who had completed higher education). In 2011, this was no longer true for Eastern Germany where higher educated women now had a somewhat higher fertility rate compared to the rest of the population.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Food and Drink<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n There is no better way for you to explore Germany and its regions than eating German food and drinking German beers and wines.
