Love padlocks, Ljubljana – Slovenia

July 6, 2012 By James Clark 6 Comments

Love padlocks, Ljubljana - Slovenia
[Love padlocks on a bridge, Ljubljana – Slovenia]

While travelling around Europe I have noticed more cities that have love padlock bridges, such as this one in Ljubljana. I first saw this phenomenon on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, though the origin of this tradition is unknown. I wonder if the couple who first locked a padlock on a bridge know that they started something?

    We saw this on a fence in Dubrovnik, but I had no idea what it meant.

    You have so much to teach! πŸ™‚

    So far, Europe is the only place I’ve seen this. Here’s my love lock photo from Cologne, Germany. This is the bridge in front of the Dom Cathedral.
