Rakotzbrücke - the mystical Devil's Bridge in the east ...

Deep in the east of Germany on the border with Poland lies a bridge that has become famous in recent years thanks to Instagram: the Rakotzbrücke. The pictures show a semicircular bridge over a lake, surrounded by a densely tree-covered bank, which, together with its reflection in the water surface, forms a perfect round circle. The small but imposing bridge from the 19th century looks dark and mystical - a real devil's bridge. However, the Rakotzbrücke is not quite as remote as the pictures suggest - it is located in a landscape park, the Rhododendron Park Kromlau, a district of the municipality of Gablenz in the district of Görlitz.

It is not without reason that the bridge adorns many photo calendars. Great, mystical ambience ... Especially in the morning.

Worth seeing Rakotzbrücke in Kromlauer Park.

Currently still renovation work.
