Between Azalea and Rhododendron Park you will find one of the most bizarre bridges in the world. If you ask locals for the bridge, they sometimes look questionable. In the vernacular, it is often referred to as the Devil's Bridge. Namely, especially at sunset, it receives a devilishly red color. Devilishly beautiful.

The construction work is complete. Beautiful photo motif in spring for the rhododendron blossom or in autumn 📸

The Rakotz Bridge in the Azalea and Rhododendron Park in Kromlau in Saxony is one of the most bizarre but also the most beautiful bridges in Europe. The field and basalt stone construction was built in the years 1863 to 1883. Nowadays, the Rakotz Bridge is a listed building and must not be entered - but this is not necessary for a fairytale-like photograph.
