The Kromlau Azalea and Rhododendron Park (German: Azaleen- und Rhododendronpark Kromlau; Upper Sorbian: Acalejowy a Rododendronowy Park Kromola) is an 80-hectare (200-acre) landscaped park in the village of Kromlau (Upper Sorbian: Kromola), in the municipality of Gablenz (Jabłońc) in the region of Lusatia (Upper Lusatia), in the very east of the German state of Saxony, close to the border with Poland. It was created in the nineteenth century,[1] reportedly on the grounds of a former feudal estate, by Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke.[2][3] Following World War II, the park was nationalized by the government, and has no admission fee (though there is a nominal parking fee).[4] The park is an example of an English landscape garden, and it contains many small ponds and lakes. Its most well-known element is the Rakotz Bridge, a bridge especially built to create a circle when it is reflected in the water beneath it.
