The town is the administrative seat of the Loreley municipality and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002. Loreley was long a district town – from 1886 of the district and from 1939 of the Sankt Goarshausen district, and from 1961 to 1969 of the Loreley district – and is designated as a medium-sized center in the state's regional planning.

The Loreley is a 132-meter-high slate cliff near Sankt Goarshausen in Rhineland-Palatinate, situated at the deepest and narrowest point of the Middle Rhine. It rises steeply to 193.14 meters above sea level on the right bank of the Rhine at river kilometer 555 and offers a sweeping view of the river bend near Sankt Goarshausen and Katz Castle.

Schönburg Castle in Oberwesel occupies a special position among the castles of the Middle Rhine: it remained in the possession of the Holy Roman Empire until its destruction. It was likely built in the first half of the 12th century by Count Palatine Hermann von Stahleck. Later, the Archbishops of Trier expanded the defenses of the contiguous group of castles. Among other things, the over 20-meter-high shield wall and the extensive outer baileys were constructed during this period. Despite structural alterations during the 20th century, Schönburg Castle still possesses a considerable amount of original building fabric, with the high shield wall being particularly striking. Today, the grounds house a hotel-restaurant, a Kolping House (a community center), and the Tower Museum. Hikers can reach Schönburg Castle via the Rhine Castles Trail (RheinBurgenWeg).

Update: After 20 years, the Rüdesheim cycle path is finally to be completed. Press release from Hessen Mobil dated November 28, 2025: "B 42: Hessen Mobil closes cycle path gap in Rüdesheim." The 300-meter temporary path, planned for 10 years, is divided into three construction phases: Phase 1: 2025/2026: Construction work around the railway line. Phase 2: February 2026, construction phase with a partial closure of the B 42. Phase 3: Until the end of June 2026, construction phase with partial closures of the roadway; the B 42 will remain open in both directions via traffic lights.
