ST. GOAR
While at St. Goar, wine tasting can be done and one can cross
the Rhein River using the Ferry. It’s a short drive, but one is
able to enjoy the view of different building structures edged on
the slopes of this small town. Fortresses „Burg“ to visit are the Burg Rheinfels, Maus and Katz.
These Burgs are dilapidated, but they tell stories of past wars. On the other hand, the Schloss, gives one a view of how the kings and queens used to live back in the day. The eye-catcher is a
visit to the Loreleystadt.

There is a sculptor of a woman seated right on the bank of the Rhein River at St. Goarshausen.
Stories are told of how she would lure men to their death. On the way to the nunnery, she climbs
on the rock to have a last view of the Rhine and assumes to have seen her love and jumps in it.
