Rakotz Bridge, (2 of 2) - a photo on Flickriver

Rakotz Bridge, (2 of 2)

            One of my favorite places we visited in Germany was the beautiful Rakotz or Devil's Bridge, about 75 miles northwest of Dresden.
From Atlas Obscura:
"Commissioned in 1860 by the knight of the local town, the thin arch stretching over the waters of the Rakotzsee is roughly built out of varied local stone. Like many similarly precarious spans across Europe, the Rakotzbrücke is known as a "devil's bridge," due to the colloquialism that such bridges were so dangerous or miraculous that they must have been built by Satan. While the bridge (as with all the others) was created by mortal hands, its builders did seem to hold the aesthetics of the bridge in higher regard than its utility."
