About This Content

The Rhine Gorge is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2002 for its unique combination of geological, historical, cultural and industrial features. Now, this area is available in Fernbus Simulator too and you can explore its winding curves along the River Rhine between the new cities of Rüdesheim and Koblenz.

When driving along the state roads on both sides of the River Rhine, you will come across plenty of small, cosy and quaint villages and their inviting beer gardens and pubs. The Lorelei lies in the centre of the Rhine Gorge and you can visit its remarkable view from atop the 132 meters high, steep slate rock on the right bank of the river. Folklore and myth tell of a siren sitting on top of the cliff, combing her golden hair, unwittingly distracted shipmen with her beauty and song, causing them to crash on the rocks. So, drive carefully and don't become distracted yourself by the beauty of this enchanting landscape.

You can find this new part of the map in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate between the cities of Mainz and Bonn in the southwest of Germany.
