View of the Loreley Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

View of the Loreley Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between the Mouse Tower in Bingen and the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, 29 castles, palaces or castle ruins tell of the important history of the Middle Rhine Valley. Kings, princes, counts, bishops – they all built their castles on the Rhine. The 132 meter high Loreley rock is right in the middle. It is not for nothing that the Loreley Valley is now one of the most popular excursion destinations in Germany. Here you can find Rhine romanticism in its purest form.
