Although geographically, this statement is incorrect, one way or another, the most important railway and highway routes connecting Northern Europe with Southern Europe run through the Alps. The area of ​​​​Switzerland is 41,285 square meters. Km. Switzerland borders five countries: Germany to the north, Liechtenstein and Austria to the east, Italy to the south, and France to the west. A great diversity of landscapes characterizes Switzerland. The Jura Mountains, the Swiss Plateau, and the Alps are the three main geographical regions of the country. Switzerland is rightly considered a water reservoir. 6% of Europe's freshwater reserves are concentrated here; it is from here that the Rhine, Rhone, and Inn rivers originate, flowing into three large seas: the North, Mediterranean, and Black. Switzerland also has many lakes. The country's lakes are of glacial origin; therefore, they are elongated and have great depth. Among them are the following: Lake Geneva, Lake Constance, Lake Neuchâtel, Lago Maggiore, and Lake Zurich.
