Since traffic is heavy throughout Old town, or you just can't get your car in parts of it, most people hike across this foot and bike bridge across the river. The walls of the bridge are lined with locks, of people professing their love and throwing the keys into the river below. You can get the locks at local shops and write your name and your lover's name on the lock. However, not to be a debbie downer, they cut off the locks occasionally. Both times I crossed this bridge, there were accordion bands playing! Double score! It's a nice vantage point to get pics of Old Town! It's a scenic spot. Plus, on the Old Town side of the river, there's a public restroom, which charges a modest fee.

Tradition has couples snapping locks with their initials on them onto the chain link portion of the Makartsteg bridge. Afterwards they toss the key into the river. This act symbolizes your unbreakable and eternal love. You can purchase locks in a few of the stores just off of the bridge and in the beautiful and quaint old town of Salzburg. Prices reflect being in a highly tourist area. I was told that the locks are removed every few years to make room for new ones. There was no mention about all of the keys laying on the bottom of the river.
