The Upper Rhine ()is the part of the Rhine that flows northbound after Basel Rhine rift, and then westward to Bingen.
The section is marked by Rhine-kilometers 170 to 529, measured beginning in Konstanz and ending in Rotterdam.
While the "Upper Rhine" is only one of four sections (High Rhine, upper, Middle Rhine, Lower Rhine) of the German part of the Rhine, the French divided this in high ("Haut-Rhin") and low ("Bas-Rhin"), as in the names of the French départements in the Alsace region.
