Heart Locks


Lockets (Locks) of the Heart; over the small canal called Čertovká, adjacent to the water wheel, and near the Lennon Wall in Kampa.

Legend has it that when you find your true love, you carve your names onto a lock and lock it onto the gate or the fence. You then throw the key into the canal.

It is said that this "tradition" of Love locks started on the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, Germany. Mirka, is that correct? Viš?

I also have read that Love Locks are also to be found on the Pont des Arts, in Paris.

PS: Happy Valentines Day to All.
