A major European river flowing from Switzerland through Germany and the Netherlands to the North Sea.
From Proto-Celtic 'Renos', meaning 'that which flows', related to the verb 'to run'. The name has remained remarkably consistent across languages and millennia, testament to the river's central importance in European civilization.
The Rhine has been Europe's liquid highway for over two thousand years, carrying everything from Roman legions to medieval merchants to modern industrial cargo. It's witnessed more history per mile than perhaps any other river - from Caesar's bridge to Charlemagne's empire to the modern European Union taking shape along its banks.
