4K Loreley am Rhein walking tour 2022 - the Lorelei Rock on the Rhine - amazing view on the Rhine

From http://www.loreley-info.com/ - The Loreley (Lorelei) is a 433 feet high slate cliff in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage near the town of St. Goarshausen. The view of St. Goarshausen, from the Loreley outlook point, with Castle Katz and the view of the town St. Goar and its Fortress Rheinfels, leaves a wonderful impression on all Loreley tourists. The Rhine, at the Loreley, is up to 82 feet deep and only 371 feet wide. Because this area is so deep and narrow, it is one of the most dangerous places in the World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Ships, crossing each other here and all along the section between Oberwesel and St. Goarshausen, are directed by light signals, called “Wahrschau”. The name Loreley appears in a romantic ballad written by the poet Clemens Brentano in 1801. In this ballad, Loreley is a beauty from Bacharach who wants to take her own life because her truelove is unfaithful. The bishop, fascinated by her loveliness and humility, takes her to a convent. En route to the convent, she stops at the cliff to look back on the palace of her truelove. When she sees him riding away, she throws herself in despair into the turbulent waters below. In the Rhine fairytale of 1810, Brentano varied the theme so that Loreley appears as the distraught woman Lurley, sitting on a rock combing her long golden hair and luring the bargees into their destruction.
