PadloveMakartsteg, your vow facing the old town
On the Salzach, between baroque and fortress, love finds its place.
On the Salzach, the Makartsteg faces Salzburg's baroque old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in Mozart's birthplace. Its railings have vanished beneath love locks, with the Hohensalzburg fortress watching from the background. Padlove carries this gesture on: your vow, here, without ever weighing on its railings.
The story of the place
A pedestrian footbridge thrown across the Salzach, the Makartsteg links the two banks of Salzburg. On one side opens the baroque old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, a maze of lanes and domes in the city that saw Mozart born. It is this panorama that you take in from the bridge's deck.
Over time, its railings vanished beneath love locks. Couples from around the world hung their promise here, turning the railing into a dense weave of metal and names, facing the silhouette of the Hohensalzburg fortress rising on its height.
Padlove takes this vow on and makes it eternal another way. Your lock lives on the map, never on the railing: it stays legible, with both your names, without adding a gram to the Makartsteg's railings or taking anything from Salzburg's beauty.
