Tourist Attractions in Rhine Valley

 
The Rhine (German Rhein, Celtic Renos, Roman Rhenus, popularly "Vater Rhein", "Father Rhine") is Europe's most important waterway and scenically its most beautiful. With a total length of 1,320km/820mi, it rises in the eastern Swiss canton of Grisons, where the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein unite to form the Alpenrhein (Alpine Rhine). It then flows through Lake Constance, goes over the Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen and continues on its way to Basle as the Hochrhein (High Rhine). There it turns north and, as the Oberrhein (Upper Rhine), flows through the Upper Rhine plain.
