The question should have been its German name as it wouldn't be in English in Germany so who would choose that answer.

Copied from Wikipedia "The Rakotzbrücke (also known as Teufelsbrücke, meaning "the Devil's Bridge") is a bridge especially built to create a circle when it is reflected in the water beneath it. The bridge's artificially-formed basalt columns were selected and shipped from distant quarries. It is in the Azalea and Rhododendron Park Kromlau which is a 200-acre (81 ha) landscaped park in Gablenz, Germany, built in the nineteenth century". I can't work out whether the bridge was deliberately built like this or whether it is a ruin of a previously good bridge.

I don’t like the name for such marvelous architecture.

luckycatfay, there's actually a devil's bridge in the UK, although it's not as pretty as the German one! It's in Kirkby Lonsdale, in the lake District. people jump off it into the river below during hot summers but it's not a good idea, lots of people have been injured attempting it.

The light reflection on the water looks like a beam. Einstein's view to infinity?

I think that it was built only for tourism. It seems impractical that the structure could be used as a bridge.

From the picture, it seems that on could cross it cos it has a flat, level surface on both sides and only starts arching up about a quarter-way into it. Just be sure to wear good-grip, non-slip shoes.
