Rhine River


Germany Week in August

The Rhine (Rhein) river, which flows for 820 miles (1,320 km), is a well-known river that flows through western GERMANY. In addition, it runs through the Netherlands and along the borders of Austria, France, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. The Rhine is a principal waterway of Germany, apparent by the fact that many major cities were built up alongside the river. These river-straddling cities — which have populations greater than 100,000 — include Bonn, Cologne, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Koblenz, Mainz, and Mannheim.
