We've been wanting to visit the Rakotz Bridge near Weißwasser for a long time.

Today we were in Lusatia for work and ended up in Weißwasser by the end of the day!😅
So we changed our shoes🥾and off we went!

What awaited us was magnificent!

The weather held☀️, the rhododendrons were blooming beautifully, and the Rakotz Bridge was very impressive😳!
