Erlbach: Sachsen, Deutschland
Erlbach lies in a wooded valley of the Vogtland uplands near the Czech border, with the forested Kegelberg rising above its scattered settlement. Erlbach is part of Markneukirchen, a town internationally associated with the making of musical instruments, a craft that has long shaped this corner of Saxony. Kegelberg is a local winter-sports area, with a lift and ski runs cut through the conifer forest. Beyond the slope, homes and small farms are set between rolling ridges in the rural Upper Vogtland. This upland country forms part of the ancient Bohemian Massif, which extends across Germany and the Czech Republic.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany.
