Germany plans to clear Lorelei passage on Rhine
West German authorities will proceed with a 55 million dollar Rhine improvement to reduce hazards at the Lorelei rock.

Local officials expect pilots or radar to guide vessels through the narrow 270 foot channel. The Lorelei legend and a proposed statue debate reflect cultural interest and preservation concerns.
