At the spot below by the road, the very steep ascent begins on a path up to the Marienfels cliff next to the barbecue hut and the Lümmelbank (65 meters of altitude gain over 265 meters of distance). On the way, at a fork directly after a right turn, choose the right path upwards. The upper part of the ascent is secured by a (stable as of 06.06.2026) wooden railing at the precipice. Those who prefer to skip this steep ascent can take the wide path a bit further to the right along the road past the cemetery, then turn right into the forest and relatively far up, turn right again to the barbecue hut.

A wonderful little place and the heart of the idealistic re-emergence of Lahn wine. A centuries-old tradition that had (almost) died out, but has been revived thanks to the enthusiasm of individuals since the early 2000s!

The Loreley sculpture is located on the tip of the harbor dam mole near St. Goarshausen. The figure was created by the Russian artist Natascha Alexandrova Prinzessin Jusopov and handed over to St. Goarshausen in 1983.
