St. Goar is a very small quaint town across the Loreley in the Middle (Mitte/rheintal) in the state Rhineland-Palatinate of Germany, with a lovely atmoshphere and pretfy scenery.

This is home to one of the best places to buy a beer stein, clogs or cuckoo clocks. They have the biggest range of all three. Although not a very lively town, it gives off a very nice friendly vibe. It is definately a true german town. This small town is great to experience the spirit and culture of Germany without the bustle and bustle of the big cities.
