In Koblenz you can enter one of the cruise ships to go down the Rhine. Halfway between Koblenz and Mainz you come accross the most famous rock at the Rhine River, the Loreley. A lot of songs have been composed about this rock. It is said that at night, when the full moon shines, eleves dance on top of this 120 meters (400 feet) high rock. the word "Lore" comes from the old German word for dancing, and "Lei" from "rock". This might be the real origin of the name "Loreley".
