📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

Germany lies in the heart of Europe — with 9 neighbours, more than any country. Alps with Zugspitze (2,962 m) in the south, North and Baltic seas in the north. Key rivers: Rhine (1,233 km — Europe\u2019s freight artery), Elbe (Hamburg → Czechia), Danube (to the Black Sea), Main, Oder. Topography dictates the cities: ports in the north, industry in the Ruhr, wine on the Rhine.

●Ruhr area: 5 million people — the former coal heart
●Black Forest — woods and cuckoo clocks; Bavarian Forest — first national park
●Lake Constance — "sea of three countries": Germany, Austria, Switzerland

🚢 The Rhine carries more freight than any river in the world — Rotterdam ↔ Basel through the whole Rhineland.
