It is enough to recall such well-known names as Goethe, Beethoven, Bach and many other world-famous names. Germany can rightfully be called a great place on earth, where great people are born.

Many people are surprised by one interesting fact - how is the German economy developing? The high rate of economic development can be explained by the fact that Germany cooperates on open markets with countries such as France, the USA and the UK. It is to these countries that Germany exports most of its goods. To date, Germany has been able to fully prove that its economy is highly competitive.

If we talk about the peculiarities of Germany’s position in the world, it is worth noting that this country is one of the most active and active participants in the European Union. On the world stage, Germany has long established itself as one of the most stable countries and has won universal respect.

The cities and lands of Germany are very attractive to tourists from many countries. One of the most attractive lands is Bavaria, which is also called the “beer land”. Oktoberfest, Neuschwanstein Castle and the lush scenery of the Alps attract more foreign tourists here than to any other land. However, the slogan “Laptop and leather pants” testifies: Bavaria is something more than just living traditions. Its economy (which is stronger than Sweden's) is famous for such global brands as BMW, Audi, Siemens, MAN and EADS (Airbus). The Bavarian capital, Munich, has more publishing houses than any other German city. But Germany's largest federal state also shines outside the metropolis.

The cathedrals of Germany will amaze you with their beauty and majesty. It is there that you can hear the divine sounds of a real organ. The small town of Amberg is definitely worth a visit. It is famous for its theater, which is located in a former Gothic church. And, of course, Germany is famous for its national art - brewing beer.

Very close to Austria.

Austria- an alpine country in the heart of Europe. Here you will find a variety of landscapes, amazing flora and fauna. Austria is proud of its history, and its modern, eventful cultural life attracts tourists from all over the world. Austrians greet their guests in a friendly manner. Austrian hospitality has become a tradition.

The Republic of Austria is a continental state located in the southern part of Central Europe and occupies part of the Eastern Alps and the territory along the Danube River. The country is quite close to the Mediterranean region. In Austria, natural, climatic and plant zones are closely intertwined. Due to its geographical location, Austria has long been a crossroads of transport routes connecting the most important European centers of economics and culture.

Today Austria is a small state located in the center of Europe. The origins of modern Austria can be traced back far into history. This country was inhabited already in prehistoric times; many peoples passed through its territory. Austria's central position in the European space allowed it to participate in all events in the historical development of the continent and acquire the long-suffering experience of history. Over the centuries, a powerful empire emerged from the border region, uniting many nations and disintegrating after the end of the First World War. From the moment the border region arose until the collapse of the huge state, two families ruled this state: the Babenbergs and the Habsburgs. After the First World War, the small republic of Austria arose, which first had to find its place on the European continent. The Second World War and all the bleeding events associated with it contributed to the emergence of a state confident in its existence, aware of its role in Europe.

Austria has a strong economy, the main components of which are machine
equipment, metallurgy and textile production. However, the main industry is still tourism.

The capital of Austria is Vienna.

Slide 22

The oldest democracy in the world, 4 national languages, confidentiality of bank clients, watches, Matterhorn, delicious chocolate - and that's all Switzerland is an ordinary country, except for some peculiarities...

The extraordinary silence of the mountains and the familiar noise of the city. Pristine nature and ancient traditions, strange cacti and edelweiss - all this is Switzerland. Switzerland is a very special country for tourism; you can come here as many times as you like and always discover something new. To travel around Switzerland you do not need a guide - the historical sights of Switzerland speak for themselves - picturesque cities: Bern, Geneva, Lugano, Lucerne, Neuchâtel, Uri, Friborg, Zurich, famous, luxurious ski resorts of Switzerland (Grindelwald, Davos, Crans-Montana) , numerous lakes and magnificent green valleys.

Just 150 years ago, Switzerland was a very poor country, many Swiss were forced to leave their native land and try their luck in the New World, and holidays in Switzerland were out of the question. Emigration and the associated homesickness have left their mark on all geographical names in the United States related to Switzerland. Today, Switzerland, a country that once could not provide either jobs or adequate salaries, has turned not only into an immigration country, which is mainly due to the influx of foreign workers, but is also happy to offer tourists from all over the globe a wonderful ski holiday and sightseeing tours in Switzerland. According to general estimates, 20% of the population are foreigners, the number of which varies from region to region.
