More info: From its source in the Swiss alps, the River Rhine flows through or along the borders of Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, France and The Netherlands. The River Rhine has served as a link between southern and northern Europe since Roman times.
The economic importance of the Rhine is due mailny to its role as a waterway crossing large parts of western Europe, with canals to French rivers and to the German Main and the Danube. Due to the engineering work pioneered by Johann Gottfried Tulla in the Grand-Duchy of Baden in the early 19th century, the Rhine is today accessible for ships from Basel via Strasbourg, through all of Germany to Rotterdam and the North Sea.
