History
Lorelei is part of the natural landscape associated with Sankt Goarshausen and its wider region. The character of this place is shaped primarily by long-term geological, hydrological and ecological processes rather than by a single building campaign. Human access, conservation and visitor management have changed over time, but the defining interest remains the landscape itself.
