Lorelei

Famous 120m tall rock overlooking the narrowest point in the Rhine River. Used to "sing", which was caused by a waterfall in the area being amplified in the canyon walls, but was attributed to Rhine Maidens, who would lure sailors to their deaths on these rocks.

Sankt Goar am Rhein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
