In the southwestern corner of Germany is the state of Baden-Württemberg. This state includes the famous Black Forest, Lake Constance, the Rhine, Danube and Neckar river valleys, the Swabian Jura, and the hilly Upper Rhine Plain, renowned for its vineyards.
The state has more annual tourists than it has citizens. Daimler-Benz, Bosch, and Porsche have their international headquarters in Baden-Württemberg, and many others besides.
In fact, the state's export volume is greater than that of the entire country of Switzerland. Karlsruhe and Freiburg are in Baden-Württemberg, as well as Stuttgart, which is the state's capital.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
