Germany

In the north of Switzerland, Germany borders the tourist regions of Basel, Fribourg, the Zurich region and eastern Switzerland. Many Swiss activities are carried out across borders or directly from Germany. The directly bordering federal states mainly include Baden-Württemberg and, on the eastern shores of Lake Constance, Bavaria with the Bavarian Alps. In the mountainous south-west of Baden-Württemberg, the Black Forest with its traditional villages is well known. The Free State of Bavaria is dominated in the south by the high mountains of the Eastern Alps.
