One such site is Rakotzbrucke, also known as Teufelsbrucke or Rakotz Bridge, which translates to “The Devil’s Bridge.” It is situated in Gablenz, Germany’s Azalea and Rhododendron Park Kromlau. When the bridge reflected into the river below, it was intended to form a perfect circle. Rakotz’s eerie aspect is attributed to the artificially-formed basalt columns that were imported from other nations.
