The love bridge

Frankfurt, Germany (16.10.2013)

A whirlwind 24 hour visit to Frankfurt with just a couple of hours to explore the city. A highlight was this Love Bridge (Eisterner Steg) where lovers engrave their names onto padlocks, link them permanently to the bridge, and toss the keys into the river – a symbol of the permanence of their commitment to one another.

The old part of the city was filled with old world charm, quaint cafes and boutiques, and wonderful street art and graffiti.

    These are great pictures! The first one makes me wonder if the padlock we left on Via Dell’Amore near Riomaggiore, Italy, is still there. Thanks for sharing your story.
