May 18, 2026, View of the Loreley Rock

The name Loreley-Felsen originated from the myths and legends of, among others, Clemens Brentano, who wrote a romantic ballad named Loreley. In a 19th-century legend, it is told that the blonde beauty Loreley enchanted the skippers on the Rhine with her singing from the rock, and therefore, despite the dangerous current, they no longer paid attention to their course and the ships crashed against the rock reefs.

The Loreley is a slate rock formation and is located in the UNESCO World Heritage site Upper Middle Rhine Valley south of Sankt Goarshausen on the eastern right bank of the Rhine at river kilometer 555. With its height of 132 meters (193.14 m above sea level), it towers high on the inside of the Rhine bend, but also has shallows up to 100 meters in the middle of the river. This makes this section of the river one of the most dangerous on the Rhine.

For this purpose, garden landscapes and parks are to be created, each with its own character and its own story to present. The program will be complemented by guided tours of historical castles or wine tastings, where guests will be introduced to the history of wine cultivation in the region.

Located in the beautiful Middle Rhine Valley, very close to the famous Loreley rock, the Rheinfels Castle ruins today attract guests from near and far with their picturesque setting. Previously, the fortress was considered one of the safest and most impregnable castles in Germany.

Great hiking trail through the gorge, adventurous over stones, bridges and rope-secured climbing sections. Very rustic and natural landscape with a few waterfalls.

Rheinfels Castle is a majestic structure perched on a rock above the Rhine in St. Goar.

On the way through the Erbach Valley, you pass the Schönecker Mill, which was once a rest stop. But from the looks of things, that's a thing of the past.
