The two-and-a-half-hour KD round trips between Boppard and St. Goar/St. Goarshausen on board MS RheinKrone are well worth it. The 42-metre-long boat has a spacious, open saloon and an inviting open deck with staggered levels. If you like, you can approach the Lorelei from the KD jetty in St. Goarshausen. On the Lorelei there is a beautiful park and a summer toboggan run. Lorelei Rock is also home to what is possibly Germany’s most attractive open-air stage. The eponymous lady, who, according to legend, ceaselessly grooms her long, golden hair “with a golden comb”, is not to be found on the rock. The Lorelei statue is somewhat hidden at Lorelei port.
