Explore Live Cams in Germany

Germany (Deutschland) sits in the heart of Europe, covering about 137,990 square miles (357,386 km²) from the North and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps. Flat plains, heaths and lakes fill the north, rolling wooded hills and river valleys like the Rhine cover the middle, and snowy mountains rise along the southern border.

Its most famous natural landmark is the Zugspitze, the highest peak at about 9,718 feet (2,962 m), on the Austrian border. The Black Forest fills the southwest with dark pine woods, sandstone towers rise above the Elbe in Saxon Switzerland, and on Rügen island, white chalk cliffs stand above ancient beech forests protected by UNESCO.

Red deer, wild boar and lynx live in its forests, beavers have returned to many rivers, and thousands of white storks nest on rooftops each summer. Along the North Sea, seals rest on the sandbanks of the Wadden Sea, and the black eagle on the coat of arms has been a German symbol for centuries.

Did You Know? Wolves returned to Germany in 2000 after being wiped out about 150 years earlier, and today more than 200 packs roam the country.
