The Lorelei (German: Loreley), is a rock on the 
eastern bank of the Rhine near St. Goarshausen, 
Germany, which soars some 120 metres above the 
waterline.

 It marks the narrowest part of the river between 
Switzerland and the North Sea, and is the most 
famous feature of the Rhine Gorge, a 65 km section 
of the river between Koblenz and Bingen that was 
added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in June 
2002. A very strong current and rocks below the 
waterline have caused many boat accidents there.

Lorelei is also the name of a feminine water spirit, 
similar to mermaids or Rhine maidens, associated 
with this rock in popular folklore and in works of 
music, art and literature.
