Huntsville is in the far right hand north west corner of Alabama. Near Chattanooga and near the 14th district of Georgia, Huntsville has got hills valleys, vegetation, rain, lakes, streams, and wildlife. It is a nice place to go for a walk in the woods.
Yup. I've read articles about Germans who visit relatives there and wind up immigrating there because they like the area so well.

Check your map. HSV is pretty much on the centerline of the state about 20 miles south of the TN/AL border. HSV is about 80 miles east of the MS/AL border and 60 miles west of the GA/AL border.
