  The Rhine at Basel
by KennetRose
 
 

The Rhine in Basel is still fresh from the mountains and hasn't been industrialised.

The current is swift, and the local sport seems to be to jump in the river and let it carry you downstream to the next landing place. The actual effort of swimming hardly seems necessary.
