Also, such a scheme opens up ample opportunities for travel and excursions, giving for the international students an opportunity to get acquainted with German culture and history, samples of art and architecture.
The Humboldt-Institut Meersburg will be an ideal choice for those who appreciate the beauty of nature, peace, tranquility and want to fully concentrate on learning. This small, cozy city is located near the Alpine mountains, so almost every point of it opens an impressive view of the mountain peaks. The population is just over 5000 people - these are unusually hospitable, friendly people, ready to meet students from all over the world as members of their family. At the same time, the city has ample opportunities for leisure and recreation. The key attraction is usually considered to be the ancient fortress (it is more than 1400 years!), in honour of which the city was named: it has survived to this day and serves as an object of interest for thousands of tourists.
