	Rhine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rhine canyon (Ruinaulta) in Graubünden in Switzerland
		Since the Rhine flows from the Alps, a precondition of its existence is the uplifting of the Alps, which began in the Alpine Orogeny.
		These highlands helped to divert the Rhine to the west; however, the Rhine's course is set by the Rhine graben, a rift that opened in the Eocene and Oligocene periods between the western Alps and the central Alps, caused by their moving in slightly different directions.

		The Rhine was the classic river of the middle ages; and probably the Tiber alone is of equal historical interest among European rivers.
