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)
