Germany Valley, Georgia

Germany Valley, located in Rabun County in the U.S. state of Georgia, four miles northwest of Clayton, is a gently sloping valley surrounded by Blue Ridge Mountain peaks. The Germany community is often referred to by local residents as "Germany Mountain," although there is actually no named peak in the area by that name. At an elevation of approximately 2,600 feet (790 m), Germany is generally considered the third highest mountain valley in the state, after Sky Valley (3, 140 feet [960 m]), also in Rabun County, and the Suches community (2, 800 feet [850 m]) in Union County. Germany Valley is approximately 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) wide and almost 2 miles (3.2 km) long and consists mostly of pastureland and small farms with cattle and horses. Forestland, much of it owned by the United States Forest Service, surrounds the valley. Several wooded hills rise 100–150 feet (30–46 m) above the valley floor. Germany Valley is framed by numerous mountain peaks. Big Face (3, 541 feet [1, 079 m]) rises above the valley's southern edge and dominates most valley vistas. Billy Mountain, at 3,243 feet (988 m), and 3,250-foot (990 m) Elisha Mountain—both of which sit along the Eastern Continental Divide—rise less dramatically to the north. Also on the Eastern Continental Divide is 3,640-foot (1, 110 m) Black Rock Mountain at the eastern end of the valley, which is the centerpiece of Georgia's highest stat
