The basalt organ is just as fascinating to look at as the Rakotz Bridge. Both are located in the Rakotzsee of the same name. Both great photo motifs, which have now been freshly renovated and are now waiting for those who love taking photos. 😁👌 The basalt columns of the organ reminded me of those at Stolpen Castle (about 25 km east of Dresden)

Beautiful to look at together with the imposing Rakotzbrücke.

In addition to the Rakotzbrücke, the basalt organ is one of the most famous structures in the lake. Usually the basalt organ is found in the wild nature. These natural wonders were created by volcanic activity. Some up to 30 meters high. At the Rakotzsee they are artificially created and much more delicate.
