The Rheinsprung is a steep, historic street in Basel that runs along the banks of the Rhine River. It connects the Münster Cathedral at Münsterplatz with the Mittlere Brücke at Schifflände, making it a key pathway between two of Basel's most iconic landmarks.
Walking along the Rheinsprung, you'll notice several remarkable buildings that are steeped in history. Among them are the "Blue House" and the "White House." The "White House" is particularly significant, as it now houses the administration of Justice and Economy and once served as Basel's original university, reflecting the city’s deep roots in education and governance.
The street is also home to the Natural History Museum and the Culture Museum, both of which offer a glimpse into the region’s rich natural and cultural heritage.
