The Rhine emerges from Lake Constance, flows generally westward, as the Hochrhein, passes the Rhine Falls, and is joined by its major tributary, the Aare. |
Near Sargans a natural dam, only a few metres high, prevents it from flowing into the open Seeztal valley and then through Lake Walen and Lake Zurich into the Aare. |
The Rhine, together with its tributaries the Aare and the Thur drain about two thirds of the water into the North Sea. |
Settlement centres existed in the Aare valley between Thun and Bern, and between Lake Zurich and the river Reuss. |
