Baden-Württemberg is a federal state in southwestern Germany bordering France and Switzerland, anchored by the automotive capital Stuttgart. The state combines the dense forests and thermal spa towns of the Black Forest, the shimmering shoreline of Lake Constance, the Renaissance and Gothic old towns of Heidelberg, Tübingen, and Ulm, and world-renowned engineering heritage at the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums. Vineyards, half-timbered villages, and Europe's largest theme park round out a region prized for both culture and outdoor recreation.

Lake Constance hotels in Konstanz and Überlingen are busiest in July and August; book lake-view rooms early as they sell out first
