High Rhine (German: Hochrhein, pronounced [ˈhoːxˌʁaɪn] ; kilometres[a] 0 to 167 of the Rhine)[2] is the name of the part of the Rhine between Lake Constance (Bodensee) and the city of Basel, flowing in a general east-to-west direction and forming mostly the Germany–Switzerland border. It is the first of four named sections of the Rhine (High Rhine, Upper Rhine, Middle Rhine, Lower Rhine) between Lake Constance and the river delta at the North Sea.[3]
