	Rhine - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Rhine rises in the mountains of the Swiss canton of the Grisons, and flows for 233 m.
		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 19th century that its way to the sea was re-opened.
		The Rhine was the classic river of the middle ages; and probably the Tiber alone is of equal historical interest among European rivers.
