The pedestrian foot bridge “Makartsteg Bridge” over the Salzach River in Salzburg Austria
Did you know ” Love Locks” are the latest craze when it comes to couples declaring their eternal devotion? That’s okay; neither did we, but we soon learned from a nearby shop! We purchased our lock and the store owner even supplied the pen so we could add our names.
Whatever happened to carving initials in a tree and topping off the declaration of everlasting love with a big heart?
Actually, according to some sources (the Internet is my go-to destination) the practice was fueled by the Italian movie, IWant You, based on the 2006 book of the same name by Federico Moccia. Apparently two teen lovers attach a padlock engraved with their names to a lamppost on the Ponte Milvio in northern Rome, then throw the key into the River Tiber.
Isn’t love grand!
Well now our lock is sealed with a kiss and the key is somewhere in the Salzach River is Salzburg Austria
