	Rhine. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		At Basel the Rhine becomes the Upper Rhine of the Germans and turns sharply N to Mainz across the broad-floored Rhine rift valley, a large graben, or down-faulted block, between the Black Forest and the Vosges Mts.
		A third distributary, known as the Crooked Rhine, leads to Utrecht and continues west to the sea as the Old Rhine; it is linked with Amsterdam by the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal and thence by the North Sea Canal to the North Sea.
		The Rhine was declared free to international navigation in 1868, and in 1919 navigation of the river between Basel and Krimpen, on the Lek, and Gorinchem, on the Waal, was placed under the authority of the Central Rhine Commission, with headquarters at Strasbourg.

		The Rhine canyon (Ruinaulta) in the Grisons 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.

		In Roman times the Rhine at this part of its course seems to have been a full and flowing river, but by the 9th century it had lost itself in the sands of Katwijk, and it was not until the beginning of the i9th century that its way to the sea was re-opened.
		Physical Geography.The Rhine connects the highest Alps with the mud banks of Holland, and touches in its course the most varied geological periods; but the river valley itself is, geologically speaking, of comparatively recent formation.
		Navgation.The Rhine has been one of the chief waterways of Europe from the earliest times; and, as its channel is not exposed to the danger of silting up like those of the Elbe and the Oder, it has always been comparatively easy to keep it open.

		In her introduction, Williams mentions that "the descriptive parts of this journal were rapidly traced with the ardour of a fond imagination, eager to seize the vivid colouring of the moment ere it fled, and give permanence to the emotions of admiration, while the solemn enthusiasm beat high in [her] bosom" (vol.

		They are truly magnificent, not so much for their height (a mere 23m) as for their impressive breadth (150m) and the sheer drama of the place, with the spray rising in a cloud of rainbows above the forested banks.
		Getting to the falls is simplicity itself: the 3km riverside walk from Schaffhausen to the suburban town of Neuhausen, where the falls are located, takes about 45 minutes; or you could take city bus #1 or #6 to Neuhausen Zentrum, from where the well-signposted falls are five minutes’ walk away.
		Once you’re within sight of the falls, though, you’re inevitably brought down to earth with a bump by the hordes of tourists crowding both banks in search of the best camera angle, and by the circus of souvenir stalls and dismal restaurants all around.

		The steps leading down to the observation platforms next to the waterfall were rather very slippery, and we spent a great deal of time slowly going down the stairs step by step, clutching the handrails.
		Still, I think it was worth the ordeal, as the waterfall was extraordinarily beautiful at night, something only incompletely shown by any photograph, and we spent many minutes standing at the railing of the platform, looking at the water go by, with its endless rushing shapes.

		Loved the Rhine Falls - walked there from Schauffhausen a few miles along the river though there is a train station right by the falls.
		We were on Mainau Island in April and it was early for most of the flowers but the daffodils were vry pretty and the butterfly house and orchid house were both awesome.
		The hike to the falls is very easy--mostly level along the river, except for a short climb when you reach the castle--I recall that it took around an hour or so, not going very fast.
