There is a legend in Germany, that takes place along the Rhine River of a beautiful siren who sang lovely melodies while combing her golden blonde hair, but because it is at the deepest and narrowest point of the entire Rhine River, it is extremely dangerous for ships to pass. The Loreley bewitches the hearts of all sailors with her enchanting voice and beauty. Looking to catch a glimpse of the woman whose voice has charmed them, they would forget about the dangerous rapids and soon their boats were crashed and sunk beneath the waves forever.

Underground river near Sabang in the St Pauls Mediterranian National Park Deze underground river staat op de lijst van Werelderfgoederen van de Verenigde Naties en is genomineerd voor de verkiezing tot de 7 Wereldwonderen van de Natuur. De rivier is 8 km lang en slingert door grotten met een geweldige variatie van enorme stalactieten, breekbaar uitziende zuilen, puntige spelonken en imposante kamers. De ingang van de rivier bevindt zich in een pittoreske lagune aan de westkust van centraal Palawan. We varen binnen met een peddelboot en maken een 1,2 km lange tocht op deze rivier.

One would think that the little town of St. Goar, situated just below the highly fortified Burg Rheinfels and across the river from Burg Katz, would have intimidated its enemies and kept them at a distance. But St. Goar and its sister town of St. Goarshausen across the river were involved in many military conflicts during their history mainly due to their strategic location (the narrow passage on the Rhine at Loreley is less than 2 km upriver from here) and their role in collecting duties from passing ships. In fact St. Goar was involved in unsuccessful sieges in 1255/56, 1320, and 1322 as well as several times during the Thirty Years' War (1618/48) and the Seven Years' War (1756/63). From the cruise ship, we got a nice view of the quaint Collegiate Church or Stiftskirche situated where St. Goar, a 6th century hermit, had originally built his chapel.
