The Loreley is a slate rock about 132 meters high in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage Site near St.Goarshausen. The view from the vantage point of the towns of St.Goarshausen with Katz Castle and its sister town of St.Goar with Rheinfels Castle is deeply impressive.

A mystical tour with a wonderful experience of nature and the finest dream views!🤗🌞
Another unusual idea is the themed bank trail that you encounter along the way.
At Hörfelsen on the myth path of the Loreley plateau you can learn mysterious things about the Loreley legend and the Rhine romance, but unfortunately it didn't work today🤷‍♀️. In addition to …

On the way towards Loreley, it's worth making a short detour to the chicken temple vantage point, which offers a beautiful view of St. Goarshausen, St. Goar and also towards …

Our tour began with the journey by train to …
