Rakotzbrücke, Bridge, Germany
There is a dark edge to this perfectly round bridge. At least if the nineteenth century, German people are to be believed. The seemingly innocent Rakotzbrücke, built over the Rakotzsee, has a mysterious nickname. Namely, The Devil's Bridge.
A clever piece of construction work. In the late nineteenth century, architects determined that the bridge in the Rhododendron Park Kromlau in Saxony, Germany, should be a special one. And so the bridge was built so that, combined with the reflection of the water, a perfect circle appears.
Mission accomplished, you might say. But perhaps a little too successful. In fact, only one architect was known who could create such an inhumanly beautiful, but on the other hand dangerous circle and that is Mr. Lucifer, or: the devil.
Choose your days well, if you want to visit the Devil's Bridge. The reflected circle only appears when the sun is in the right position and there is no wind. Also, the position of the water influences the circle...
