what river goes through the swiss alps and in germany

The river that goes through the Swiss Alps and into Germany is the Rhine River. The Rhine River originates in the Swiss Alps, specifically from the Tomasee lake in the canton of Grisons, and flows through Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, France, and Germany before emptying into the North Sea in the Netherlands.

In the Swiss Alps, the Rhine River forms the border between Switzerland and Austria, and then between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. It then flows into Lake Constance, which is shared by Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. From there, the Rhine River flows into Germany, where it forms the border between Germany and France before continuing its journey to the North Sea.

The Rhine River is approximately 1,232 kilometers (766 miles) long and is one of the most important rivers in Europe, supporting a significant amount of trade, industry, and agriculture along its route.
