📌 Rakotzbrucke 🇩🇪

This bridge was built in the middle of the 19th century. It is located between two forested shores in the park. "The devil's bridge" was built so that its arc and reflection in the water create a picture of a nearly perfect circle, regardless of the viewing angle. This unusual architectural structure was commissioned by a knight from the nearby city in 1860. The stone made of it was brought from the quarry into the remote. The name "The Devils" is filled with him as well as many bridges throughout Europe that were built since the beginning of the Middle Ages, especially to those who had new construction and technical achievements, which is why they added the adjective of the dishonest.

Namely, for some of these buildings, they were believed to be too demanding to be created by people without the help of some force, so the contractor had to make a covenant with the devil to make sure that the work would be completed. "Devil's Bridge" and its reflection in water today do not bind to such superstitions. Because he is more than 150 years old, it is forbidden to cross over him for safety reasons, but this does not prevent tourists from visiting him throughout the year, just to enjoy the scene.
