Rakotz Bridge (Devil's Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Kromlau Cavalier House

Highlight • Historical Site

By the beautiful stone figures, on the facade, I can well imagine what this has served.

Kromlau Castle

Highlight • Castle

A romantic place to SAY is certainly a castle and if the castle still has a unique park, the ambiance is almost perfect!

Rakotzbrücke and Azalea and Rhododendron Park Kromlau

Highlight • Monument

200 h large landscape park of the Kromlau estate, planned from 1844 in the sense/style of Romanticism with native and foreign trees; With the help of basalt stones from quarries in Saxon Switzerland and Bohemia, caves, grottos and pyramids were created, here e.g. the judge's seat (pulpit), the organ, heaven and hell and the Rakotz Bridge (Rakotz = Sorbian for cancer / popularly also Devil's Bridge); whose semicircle is reflected in the lake and forms a complete circle;

From 1893 the horticultural inspector Georg Eichler began to plant rhododendrons and outdoor azaleas on a larger scale, which should contribute to the harmonious appearance of the park;

Also worth seeing is the baroque Old Castle Kromlau (today a residential building) and the Kavaliershaus opposite; Kromlau is a terminus of the Muskau Forest Railway;
