You can admire the views of the river endlessly. A funny thing is standing next to the pedestrian bridge. I don’t know by whom and when the tradition to hang locks on bridges fences began, but this misfortune attacked the most beautiful bridges in Europe. Nuremberg approached the issue with German thoroughness. A municipality of the city announced a competition on how to prevent hanging locks on the bridges, and an elegant solution was soon presented. A large metal structure in the form of a vast heart is designed for hanging locks of love in it — students of the vocational school designed this construction. They installed the first lock of love. They believe that soon the metal heart will be covered with locks of love, and thus, the bridge will be clean and lovers satisfied.
