Maybe lack of mountains has something to do with it?

I've never been to Germany, but I thought the Alps extended into that

Germany low German.

Of course, broadcaster's jinx: now that I say they're not competitive, it'll
be the year of the German sweep...

Where is the center of AX-country training in Germany?
