St. Goarshausen

© KD Deutsche Rheinschiffahrt GmbH

The Loreley town at the foot of the world-famous Loreley Rock. The imposing mountain rises out of the Middle Rhine Valley at around 193 m above sea level.

With the Loreley song written by Heinrich Heine and set to music by Friedrich Silcher, the legend of the blonde Rhine mermaid Loreley, who is said to have lured the boatmen to their doom, has become famous all over the world. Even today, visitors can still sense the myth when they stand high up on the Loreley rock, look into the eddies of the Rhine and become aware of the dangerous Rhine straits. A visit to the small but pretty old town below Katz Castle is well worthwhile.
