The river Rhine flow from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea.

The Rhine initially flows north into the Bodensee (a lake) which is on the border of Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

It leaves the Bodensee at Konstanz, and flows west to Basel.

At Basel it turns north again, and forms the border between France and Germany.

The Rhine is navigable from Basel to the sea.

After Basel it flows near to Strasbourg, and then Mainz.

From Bingen to Koblenz is a stretch known as the 'Rhine Gorge', which is a tourist area.

After Koblenz come Köln (Cologne) and Düsseldorf. It crosses into the Netherlands, just after the border the Rhine Delta starts. Each branch of the Rhine has a different name, and none of them are called 'Rhine'.

The largest branch reaches the North Sea at Rotterdam.
