Trip to Loreley
http://www.loreley-info.com/index.php
The Lorelei (also spelled Loreley) is a rock on the eastern bank of the Rhine near St. Goarshausen, Germany,
which soars some 120 metres above the water line. It marks the narrowest part of the river between Switzerland and the North Sea.
A very strong current and rocks below the waterline have caused many boat accidents there. Since 1395,
the vineyards of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen have been located here.
Lorelei is also the name of one of the beautiful Rhine Maidens who,
legend has it, lured navigators of this river to their dooms with their alluring singing, much like the Sirens of ancient Greek myth.
Lorelei can be spelled in a variety of ways... Lorelei, Loreli, Lorali, and Lorellye among others.
