Loreley Statue on the Rhine
Highlight • Monument
The Middle Rhine river bed, which is still 300 meters wide above the Kammereck, is narrowed to 145 meters by the rock barriers just above the Loreley, at the Betteck. At the Loreley itself, the Rhine was 160 meters wide and up to 25 meters deep. These are the narrowest and deepest parts of the Rhine in its navigable section. On the other hand, the two river banks directly downstream, at the Loreley harbor, diverge like a trough for a short stretch of up to 400 meters. At Sankt Goar and Sankt Goarshausen the stream is usually 250 meters wide. The Rhine winds through the rock massif in tight curves. Because of these very tight curves and strong currents, navigation on the Rhine from the Bankeck in Sankt Goar to Oberwesel is regulated by light signals.
