The priory of Apollinarisberg is built on a commandingheight a little to the north west of Rhein magen (the Rigomagumof the Romans). Its situation is delightful, and from it we enjoymost beautiful prospects both up and down the Rhine. In theformer direction we overlook the little town of Rheinmagen,or lleimagen, skirted by the broad and noble river, on the op-posite side of which rise gentle hills ; the little towns of Erpeland Linz are seen in the distance. In the latter direction wehave a charming prospect of the whole range of the Sieben-berge, with the Rhine winding gracefully through the inter-vening level country.
