Rhine River View in Basel

A View Over the Rhine

Mounted on the East-West Hotel facade, this camera looks out across the Rhine River toward Basel's old town. The Mittlere Brücke, one of the oldest bridges over the Rhine, anchors the scene as it links the city's two historic halves.

Grossbasel and Kleinbasel

The bridge connects Grossbasel, the elevated old town on the left bank, with Kleinbasel, its counterpart across the river, a division that has shaped the city's layout for centuries.

A Historic Skyline

Beyond the bridge, the camera frames a dense cluster of medieval rooftops and a slender church spire that define Basel's old town silhouette along the riverbank.

Daily Crossings

The Mittlere Brücke remains a working crossing, carrying trams, cyclists, and pedestrians between the two riverbanks, while boats pass beneath its stone arches.
