Also known as Aar
The Aare () or Aar () is the main tributary of the High Rhine (its discharge even exceeds that of the latter at their confluence) and the longest river that both rises and ends entirely within Switzerland.
The Aare is Switzerland's longest river that starts and finishes entirely within the country, and it's the main tributary flowing into the High Rhine—so much so that it actually carries more water than the Rhine itself at the point where they meet. Because of its size and position within Switzerland's river system, the Aare is one of the country's most important waterways.
