=== Tri-national metropolitan region ===

The Upper Rhine tri-national region (French: ''Région Métropolitaine Trinationale du Rhin Supérieur'', German: ''Trinationale Metropolregion Oberrhein'') is a [[Euroregion]] that covers the border areas of the Upper Rhine (the northern part of the Upper Rhine valley and the Palatinate are not included as they are not border areas) and parts of the High Rhine. As the name suggests, it is a tri-national region comprising parts of France, Germany and Switzerland. The regional [[Upper Rhine Conference]] is a framework for future political and administrative cooperation in the area.

The [[tripoint]] between France, Germany and Switzerland, called ''[[Dreiländereck (Basel)|Dreiländereck]]'', lies within the uppermost portion of the Upper Rhine. A [[Plastic arts|monument]] in Basel, known as the ''Pylon'', is located {{cvt|160|m}} southeast of the actual tripoint.
