According to German legend, there was once a beautiful young maiden, named Lorelei, who threw herself headlong into the river in despair over a faithless lover. Upon her death she was transformed into a siren and from that time to be heard singing on a rock along the Rhine River , near St. Goar. Her hypnotic music lured sailors to their death. When they looked up to the rock, their boat crashed and they sank.
