Glass Rock and Mythos Hall, Loreley Plateau

Highlight • Monument

"The summit of the mountain sparkles in the evening sunshine," says Heinrich Heine's Loreley poem. On the Loreley plateau, the summit of the mountain now literally glitters: The so-called Myth Hall, featuring the Glass Rock, was opened there on Thursday, July 10, 2025.

These two elements are part of the newly designed Loreley plateau and are intended to bring the myth of the Loreley to life.

Loreley Statue on the Rhine

Highlight • Monument

The Loreley rock is located in the Rhein-Lahn district in the area of the Loreley community. The Loreley Plateau is part of the local community of Bornich, while the steep slopes and cliffs rising all around from the Rhine belong to the urban area of Sankt Goarshausen. The Loreley is located in the center of the St. Goarer Tal natural area as part of the main natural area Upper Middle Rhine Valley.

The Middle Rhine river bed, which is still 300 meters wide above the Kammereck, is narrowed to 145 meters by the rock barriers just above the Loreley, at the Betteck. At the Loreley itself, the Rhine was 160 meters wide and up to 25 meters deep. These are the narrowest and deepest parts of the Rhine in its navigable section. On the other hand, the two river banks directly downstream, at the Loreley harbor, diverge like a trough for a short stretch of up to 400 meters. At Sankt Goar and Sankt Goarshausen the stream is usually 250 meters wide. The Rhine winds through the rock massif in tight curves. Because of these very tight curves and strong currents, navigation on the Rhine from the Bankeck in Sankt Goar to Oberwesel is regulated by light signals.

View of Katz Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ongoing conflict between the Electors of Trier and the Counts of Katzenelnbogen can be seen in the Bug “Katz”, which can only be viewed from the outside, as well as in its counterpart, the “Maus” Castle. The castle in St. Goarshausen, which was actually built in 1371 as Neu-Katzenelnbogen Castle, was given the popular name “Katz”. The Counts of Katzenelnbogen wanted to use it to protect their possessions on the Rhine and in particular the customs office in St. Goar opposite - as well as consciously setting a counterweight to the “Maus” castle in Electorate, which threatened their customs clearance.
