Azalea and Rhododendron Park Kromlau, Botanical park in Gablenz, Germany
Azalea and Rhododendron Park Kromlau is an English-style garden in Gablenz, Germany, with several lakes and winding paths between flower beds and tree groves. The grounds include the bridge, a timber guesthouse, and open meadows for walking.
A landowner named Rötschke began shaping the grounds around his estate in the 1840s. A count later took over the property and expanded it with plantings and structures.
The stone arch known locally as the Devil's Bridge dates back to the mid-1800s and forms a half-circle over the lake below. On calm days, the reflection completes the circle in the water.
Access to the grounds is free all year, and visitors can explore the paths on foot. There is a pay parking area near the entrance for cars.
The timber guesthouse built in Swiss country style during the 1860s still stands in the grounds today. It shows wooden beams and decorative details that were popular in the region at the time.
