"I don't know what it means..." or the 70s hit "Loreley...ley...ley... below you flows the Rhine". What's exciting is that the legend of the Loreley probably has an older origin, but it was actually brought to life by the poet and Goethe acquaintance "von Brentano". Later it was incorporated into the Rhine Romanticism and immortalized by Heinrich Heine in his perhaps most famous poem (even though the Nazis later struck out the name Heine below it and titled it "Unknown Poet" - speechless).

One of the oldest medieval stone bridges in Germany. The short stop is worthwhile for anyone who wants to discover a piece of history on their bike tour.

The new Drusus Bridge, still visible today, was built 100 years later under Archbishop Willigis (975-1011). This bridge was destroyed by the French in 1689. It was rebuilt by 1772. In March 1945, a special command blew up the bridge arch in front of the advancing troops of the Allies. Today, the 1000-year-old Drusus Bridge, in new splendor, once again shapes the cityscape of Bingen.

The Drusus Bridge owes its name to the Roman general Drusus, who is said to have built the first wooden bridge over the Nahe. It probably originated in the decade before Christ's birth, but was probably in a different location. At that time, Drusus fortified the left bank of the Rhine border of the Roman Empire by building fortifications and may have had a convenient path built across the Nahe. The wooden bridge was destroyed in 70 AD. The current stone bridge is a construction from the 11th century.
