Kładka Ojca Bernatka

I had a chance to walk and see Kladka Bernatka in the evening yesterday. Because I was walking from Starowislna Street along the river I could see it from the distance far away. It looked really nice and modern and magical :) I could not see any views from it because it was so dark but only other bank of the river which looked so beautiful due to lights and weather. I heard that during the summer there are many spiders and nets, they are hunting for night insects :) so must go to check during the summer night. On both sides of the bridge people locking padlocks to keep their love forever I guess ;) It was really great walk in beautiful settings. I noticed no lamps or lanterns along the river banks though.

Known to the local as just Kładka (footbridge) this links the banks of the Wisła (Vistula river) in the nicest possible way. There are hundreds of padlocks attached to the bridge. These are put there by lovers who then throw the keys into the river. The padlocks are usually engraved with the names or initials of the people who put them there. Two of my favourite places are situated at opposite ends of Kładka. First (at the Kazimierz end) is Kładka Café, a nice little bar. At the Podgorze end is Tao by Zen, a great little restaurant that serves the most amazing sushi and various other Japanese and Thai dishes.
