Why?
Switzerland is to the south and borders on Baden-Württemberg, for example at Lake Constance (Bodensee) and along the Rhine. Germany has nine neighbouring countries: Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. Hungary, Portugal and Spain are EU countries, but they do not share a border with Germany.
