Not really, this bridge is located in the middle of "Azaleen - und Rhododendronpark Kromlau", the Azalea and Rhododendron park of Kromlau, a charming little town near the Polish border.

Entrance to the park is free, with beautiful plants and flowers growing at any time of the year. Rather more prosaically, the Germans call it "The Shower Head Bridge" because its rounded shape resembles a shower head.

Externsteine

Horn-Bad Meinberg - Westphalia-Lippe

Historians reckon that this site made up of incredible rock formations, may have been a pagan place of worship. It is easy to see why they were in awe of this fascinating miracle of nature. The place was occupied by Christians who set up a chapel there more than a millennium ago. A few centuries later, the Nazis took a special interest in the site because, Himmler for example, wanted to return to pre-Christian Germanic traditions and make Externsteine a symbolic place of Germanic identity.

During your visit to the park, however, you are more likely to come across squirrels and owls rather than Nazis and pagans. Book your flights to Bielefeld and your accommodation at the best price and discover one of the best natural wonders in Germany.

Opening hours: The park is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (closes at 4 p.m. on weekends).
