Germany
is the country in the heart of Europe. Their neighbors to the
north are the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary to the
east, Austria and Italy to the south and Switzerland to the
west. The alps are a dominating feature of the country.
Two-thirds of Germany is mountains. The tourist resort of
Fuessen (approx 10,000 inhabitants) in the heart of the
German/Austrian Alps is, on account of its spectacular
location and tourist possibilities the ideal site for a major
hockey tournament. The town is a well known two-season resort
at (2,300) feet above sea level, and it enjoys a picturesque
location There are 20 mountain tops that reach 3,000 (meters
or 9,834 feet in the immediate area).
