Excerpt from the poem by Heinrich Heine
The air is cool and it darkens, and the Rhine flows calmly;
The summit of the mountain sparkles in the evening sunshine.The skipper in the small ship, it seizes with wild woe;
He doesn’t look at the reefs, he just looks up into the heights.I think the waves are devouring, at the end skipper and barge;
And that’s what Lore-Ley did with her singing.
The Loreley Myth
The Loreley is a legendary slate rock located in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is a legend, because in the Middle Ages the strong bend around the 132 meter high rock plateau was one of the most dangerous places for the Rhine navigation.
Masses of water flowing at different speeds encountered rocky ribs across the river. This produced strong vortices. To the doom of some skippers.
Despite the numerous blasts in the last century, the Rhine at the Loreley site is still difficult to navigate at low water levels.
The Loreley Plateau
The Loreley Visitor Centre was opened during EXPO 2000. It contains a museum and provides detailed information about the special features of the region.
In 2016, extensive construction work was started to integrate a cultural and landscape park on the Loreley Plateau, based on the legendary myth.
In addition to the “Strahlenweg” ( a special path, shining way ), which leads visitors past the “Mythenraum” ( room of myths ) to the viewing platform, the “Mythenpfad” ( path of myths ) will provide visitors with insights into the myth of Loreley.
