DRACHENFELS AND ROLANDS-ECK.
THERE is, perhaps, no portion of the scenery of the Rhinemore pleasing than in the vicinity of the Siebenbergen or SevenMountains. As we descend the river and approach this beau-tiful range of hills, the landscape assumes the most charmingaspect. The distance is hounded by the steep and ruggedDraehenfels, the most striking of the Siebenbergen. On theleft is the ruin of the Castle of Rolands-Eck, crowning a darkrocky hill, at the foot of which glides the calm and glassyRhine; and to the right is the lovely Island of Nonnenwerder.No scene could he better adapted to the romantic and well-known love tale of Roland and Hildegonde.
