My daughter was learning about rivers in school today. Rivers in Europe. Donau, Volga, Rhone, Rhine.
And also about the Loreley. Fabled to be a siren sitting on a rock in the river Rhine, letting sailors lose their wits with her song, and drowning them in a bend of the river. The rock that is on that bend (left on the photo, where the river disappears from sight) is now also called Loreley.
We visited there a few years ago. February 2020. We had an amazing weekend. We had hesitated to go, because a virus was spreading in Europe. And on our way back, joining up with the people on the road returning from their ski vacations in Italy, I could almost see the virus travel with them. Crowded rest-stops, coughing people, neglected hygiene.
Not much later, most of Europe went in lock downs and started rushing vaccine development. It seems a lifetime ago, but it has only been 6 years.
Still, a weekend near the Loreley comes with warm recommendations.
