Germany: Katz Castle and Loreley

On Thursday I got five postcards: three from Germany, one from Singapore and one from Belgium.

One of the cards from Germany shows the Katz Castle overlooking the Loreley in Rhineland-Palatinate. The Katz Castle is today owned by a Japanese. The Loreley is the name of a slate rock and also of a neck should have lived on the rock. She combed her golden hair and attracted the boatmen with her song so that they did not mind the course and so their ships bursted at the rock. Loreley and Katz Castle are located in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley which is since 2002 a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
