Sagen van den Rijn

A vivid tapestry of medieval folklore unfurls along the waters of the Rhine, inviting listeners into the enchanted castles, mist‑shrouded valleys, and bustling market towns that once pulsed with mythic life. From the towering giants of Niedeck who delight in the simple motions of a ploughing farmer, to the haunting song of the Lorelei whose voice lures travelers to the river’s depths, each tale blends gentle humor with a lingering sense of wonder. The narratives are rich with colourful characters—knights, bishops, and wandering bards—whose deeds are illustrated by classic artworks that breathe fresh life into the old verses.

The collection moves from the playful mischief of a giant’s child to the solemn honor of knights such as Roland, weaving moral lessons and regional pride into every story. Listeners will feel the echo of ancient festivals, the clang of tournament armor, and the quiet reverence of cathedral builders, all while the Rhine’s steady flow serves as a timeless backdrop to these enduring legends.
