Villas in Sankt Goar

About Sankt Goar
Sankt Goar is a small town of under 3,000 people on the west bank of the Middle Rhine, almost directly opposite the Loreley rock. The Rhine Gorge here has been a World Heritage Site since 2002, and tourism is the town's main trade. The ruins of Burg Rheinfels, founded in 1245, stand above the town. Besides the riverside centre, the town takes in Biebernheim and Werlau on the heights and Fellen and An der Loreley along the river. Vineyards are planted mainly with Riesling. The homes are grouped in one spot near the town; most sleep two, though some take larger groups, and most have a garden, but check each listing.
