A Experiência
A tragic tale of a woman in love and betrayed, Lorelei Rock is a tourist destination in Germany that a lot of people visit to experience its bewitching tale. Lorelei (sometimes spelt as “Loreley”) was derived from an old German word “lureln” meaning murmuring, and an old Celtic word “ley” meaning rock—giving it its name of Murmuring Rock. The truth is, because of the strong current and the sound of the small waterfall near the foot of Lorelei Rock, the murmuring sound is echoed by the big rock. The murmur could be clearly heard at the time of its naming, but since urbanization around the area, the sound has diminished over time.
Legend has it that because of the tragic love affair of a blond siren, she continues to haunt sailors and unwary passersby. Town folks attributed the many shipwrecks and accidents to the disturbed soul of the lovely young lady who died because of love.
The first thing you notice upon arriving at Sankt, St. Goarshausen at the Rhine River bank, is the emerald green and sometimes sapphire blue waters of the Rhine River. As they say, its colour depends on nature’s mood. It is always a wonderful sight to behold when its deep and sometimes turbulent waters change their hues.
A romantic river boat ride on the River Rhine is the best way to see Lorelei Rock up close. The ride allows tourists to experience both the Rhine River and Lorelei Rock at the same time, and is very much a joint experience. The legend of the Lorelei Rock is always accompanied by the mysterious sound of the River, and the beauty and magnificence of one is very best attributed by the other.
Castles and sightseeing balconies add to the attraction of Lorelei Rock, and tourists climb up its steep hill to experience the many medieval castles and modern-day features. Up on top of the Murmuring Rock, with the mixture of the river and mountain breeze, the view of the Rhine is even more breathtaking. There are so many things to see and experience on top of Lorelei Rock, and medieval and modern-day adventures are top itineraries of the day. Because Lorelei Rock and Rhine River are two of Germany’s top tourist attractions, almost nothing has changed in the way they have preserved the castles and other sights as seen from the top of the Murmuring Rock. A feeling of being transformed to a time of knights and noble ladies can be felt. Visitors also enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting from nearby vineyards, as well and delectable German and European cuisine.

Quando ira Lorelei Rocha
Just like the rest of Germany, summer time is the best time to visit darling Lorelei Rock and its constant companion the River Rhine. It is also the perfect time to witness the summer fireworks festival. Other places in the area, like the Rheinfels Castle ruins and the underground tunnel, are good attractions for those looking for a bit of adventure.

- Segundo a lenda alemã, houve uma vez uma linda donzela jovem, chamada Lorelei, que se jogou de cabeça no rio, em desespero por um amante infiel. Após sua morte, ela foi transformada em uma sirene e poderia a partir desse momento ser ouvido cantando em uma pedra ao longo do rio Reno, perto de St. Goar. Sua música hipnótica atraiam os marinheiros para a morte. A lenda é baseada em uma rocha ecoando com esse nome perto Sankt Goarshausen, Alemanha.
