English: The "Loreley" is a rock on the eastern bank of the Rhine near St. Goarshausen. Loreley is also the name of the beautiful Rhine Maiden sitting on top of the rock, luring navigators to their doom.
Deutsch: Die Loreley ist ein Schieferfelsen am Ostufer des Rheins bei Sankt Goarshausen, Rheinland-Pfalz. Der Sage nach saß die Nixe Loreley auf dem Felsen und verwirrte die Rheinschiffer mit ihrem Gesang so, dass diese nicht auf die gefährlichen Felsen im Fluss achteten und ihre Schiffe daran zerschellten.
