This is the gateway state if you want to go to Lyon, Milano or Switzerland.

There is the A5 and the A81 going north-south and the A8 and A6 going west-east.

It is third largest in both area and population among the country's sixteen states, with an area of 35,742 square kilometers (13,800.1 sq mi) and 10.7 million inhabitants (both almost equivalent to all of Belgium). It's capital is Stuttgart.

Language

In many areas of Baden-Württemberg, residents speak the distinctive dialects of Swabian (Schwäbisch) and Badisch/Allemanic, which both are known for being almost unintelligible to northern Germans, especially in its stronger forms in the countryside. In the northern part of Baden-Württemberg, i.e. the area around Heidelberg and Mannheim, a third kind of dialect is spoken, known as Kurpfälzisch.
