So far I have showed you around the Old and New Palace of the Eremitage here East of Bayreuth in Germany. I've shared the stunning beauty of both so now it's time for a little mysticism. North of the New Palace a few steps down is the "Dragon's hole":
At least that's what I can understand by "Drachenhöhle" while I am not a German speaker. I smell some Japanese influences here.
Here's the steps you take to go down here:
And here's a closer look:
That's where this parenthesis closes and we go back to more royal beauty. Like this pond next to it:
This bridge would be much more sophisticated if it was built back in the day:
And this is the "Birdhouse":
Not sure what was its purpose precisely but form a think called "Vogelhaus" you can make your guesses.
It's easier to imagine what was the purpose of the following construction:
What a view it would be from this balcony down there back in the day:
Seems that they spent time assuring that the roof is aptly decorated till this thing was finished (1745):
Let's go down and have a closer look:
These cavities relate to its name ("Unteren Grotte" - Lower cave):
Interesting creations in this pool:
There's even little fishes in here and I took a picture in the hope you could see some but I am afraid it's in vain:
More cavities:
And a few more views to this, like it or not, impressive part of the whole complex:
This building is at the North East corner of this pool but I didn't manage to retrieve more info about it. Nice one though:
So that's it with the watery treasures of this estate so far, stay tuned for the rest of the beauties cause they are not over yet!
