View allAll Photos Tagged rhine
is a source of the river Rhine in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The river originates from the Länta Glacier and the Grauhorn Glacier at the northern foot of the Rheinwaldhorn and initially flows through the valley Länta before it flows into the Zervreilasee reservoir. Before the construction of the reservoir, the brooks Hornbach and Canalbach would flow into Valser Rhine from the right at the village of Zervreila. Today, the brooks flow into the reservoir, as does the Finsterbach, also from the right.
This «Little Swiss Grand Canyon» is a natural monument offering a host of activities such as hiking and river rafting.
The Rhine Gorge, or «Ruinaulta» in Romansh, is one of the most magnificent and diverse landscapes in the Alps. Created about 10,000 years ago by a rockslide, the gorge walls reach heights of up to 300 metres. In its depths, the Upper Rhine winds its way for 14 kilometres. It is fed from Lake Toma at the Oberalp Pass, the Rhine's official source. From there it is exactly 1,233 kilometres to its outlet in the North Sea near Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

I was still climbing to the "Rheinquelle", the source of the Rhine, but couldn't resist a stop to take this photo. You can see the track I was climbing, and the road zigzagging up to the Oberalppass in the background. to the right you see the Rhine Valley and the village of Tschamut.
I love to zoom in on a photo like this and discover isolated houses, tunnels and even the Glacier Express.
This is the tour to the old town of Düsseldorf.

River Rhine in Switserland flows into lake Bodensee. The delta is a beautiful area with wetlands, agriculture and a lot of rural roads. On sunny days many locals find their way to tiny beaches and harbors. Bregenz, 2020.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
As we travel by Viking ship up the middle Rhine River, there were vineyards everywhere.
It amazed me how they planted them on such steep hillsides. There are reasons for that. They say by planting on hillsides the grapes get just the right angle of sun to produce much better crops. The hillsides are also terraced, so the grape pickers can get to them easier.
The patchwork of different colors of vineyards really fascinated me!
I hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving. As usual, I ate way to much! :-)
