So, I'm on a study abroad for a year in Stuttgart, Germany. It's great so far - the campus is very new and modern and the city is very picturesque and lively. I'll try to keep this site updated so that I don't have to email pictures to everyone separately :)

Fernsehturm (October 12, 2006)

Complete Set of Photos

The Fernsehturm (TV Tower) in Stuttgart is the world's first TV tower. It is by far the tallest structure in the area and it is located at the top of the valley, so it visible from the whole area. There is an elevator inside it where people can go to the observation deck (actually, it's about 2/3 of the way up the tower) and look out and see the city and stuff. If it's a clear day (which it wasn't when I was there!), you can even see the Alps, or so I've heard. The tower is still actually used by some radio station to broadcast its signal.
