Excerpt: Tubingen is a traditional university town in central Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. It is situated 30 km (20 miles) south of the state capital, Stuttgart, on a ridge between the Neckar and Ammer rivers. Immediately north of the city lies the Schonbuch, a densely wooded nature park. The Swabian Alb mountains rise about 20 km to the southeast of Tubingen. The Ammer and Steinlach rivers discharge into the Neckar river, which flows right through the town, just south of the medieval old town in an easterly direction. Large parts of the city are hilly, with the Schlossberg and the Osterberg in the city centre and the Schnarrenberg and Herrlesberg, among others, rising immediately adjacent to the inner city. The highest point is at about 500 m (1,640.42 ft) above sea level near Bebenhausen in the Schonbuch forest, while the lowest point is 305 m (1,000.66 f..
