Swimming the Rhine 2022

Long-distance swimmer Joseph Heß has reached the finish line in a swimming marathon across the Rhine. In just 25 days, the 34-year-old covered more than 1,200 kilometers from source to mouth, reaching the North Sea near Rotterdam in record time. Along the route, Heß promoted the Capital of Culture 2025. He had started in Switzerland on June 11, 2022. He also puts his action in the service of science. Water samples collected along the way are to provide information about the condition of the Rhine.
